2011 Rockall DXpedition (DVD)

07/10/2013 • General

This week, in a change to the printed programme, we will be showing the DVD of the 2011 Rockall DXpedition.

On 1st October 2011, a team of Belgian Radio Amateurs set foot on the tiny island of Rockall, EU-189, to begin what was perhaps one of the most extreme DXpeditions ever undertaken. Using the callsign MM0RAI/P, the first QSO was made at 15:50. Following massive pile-ups over the operating period, the team were finally evacuated at daybreak the following day.

This is the story of the DXpedition and the gale force winds their ship battled through even to just reach the island.

Please join us on Thursday 10th October to watch this excellent DVD.
