The seventh issue of the Heard Island Expedition Newsletter, published on 28 November, contains excerpts from the book written by KK6EK about the January 1997 DXpedition to Heard Island. "Twenty
men, supported by hundreds of others, spent two weeks at the bottom of the world and the bottom of the sunspot cycle, making a world-record number of two-way radio contacts using the callsign VK0IR. For those of us who were participants, it was an amazing journey to the edge of our planet and beyond the edge of our experience. But it was much more than that: it was a new kind of journey for amateur radio: a shared, collective experience in which thousands worldwide use advanced technology to become nearly
real-time participants in this extraordinary adventure".
