NEW:

We are still looking for a few operators, so if you have previous DXpedition experience working SSB/CW pileups, dont mind a few days on a boat, and love to operate in miserable conditions on tiny equatorial islands in the middle of nowhere that nobody’s ever heard of, please send an email to banaba@t33a.com. Serious inquiries only please.

Message from Jay Kobelin W2IJ

The activation of Banaba Island is set for November 2013. We have booked a larger boat (the passage there quite short), the license has been approved by the government, we have obtained landing permission and Elecraft is supplying six stations (radios/amps).

We are looking for 2-3 operators to join us on the trip. For Statesides ops interested, we will return before the Thanksgiving holiday.

For details, email us at t33-ops[at]t33a.com
