South Orkney Islands DX-pedition

We have closed the books on the VP8PJ DX-pedition to the South Orkney Islands.

Due to the global pandemic our equipment was returned to California about two months later than planned. Nothing was missing or damaged during the extended journey.

Thanks to the worldwide clubs/foundations, the DX community and our corporate sponsors, the project met all operational and financial goals. We appreciate the continued support from the DX community.

Consistent with our commitment to upload the complete VP8PJ log to LoTW six months following the DX-pedition, Tim M0URX will upload the complete log on 15 September.

Planning for our next project is underway. Exact timing will depend on lifting of the global travel restrictions, issuance of the landing permit and ship scheduling, early 2022 is the plan.

Watch for press releases as this new project unfolds.

73,
VP8PJ Leadership Team
