RSGB Convention lecture 2017 - E51LYC brings Pukapuka Atoll (OC-098) on the Air.


Last activated more than 22 years ago, this rare IOTA group was in demand by 92% of the IOTA members. The temperature oscillated between 33C during the day and 28C, sometimes higher, with a humidity of 80-90%. Using an Icom IC-7000 with 100W and a multi-band vertical, a total of 5631 QSOs were logged with 3310 stations in 79 DXCCs. About 76% of all contacts were in CW, on all bands from 10 to 40 m, with the rest in SSB.
