ZL1LC will be on a self funded micro DX Pedition operating as ZL7LC on the Chatham Island during the week of 14 - 20 March 2013.

The mode will be PSK31 ONLY.

I will be operating on the highest bands that are open but with the current conditions, 14 and 21 MHZ are the most likely. Frequencies 7.035, 14.070, 21.070 and 28.120 MHZ

For ZL 80 metres, I will be on 3.677MHz LSB over the weekend at 07:00-08:00Z and then on the Counties and Awards net.

Here's the essential information:

QTH - Kaingaroa, Chatham Island. North East corner of the island.

LOC - AE16ug

IOTA - OC-038

Lighthouse - CH009 is within one kilometre.

Club Numbers - 10-10 = 76528,   PODXS = 1476,   EPC = 11782,   DMC = 4990

Rig - Icom 7200 with Icom 7000 as a backup

Antennas - 10, 15, 40 metres = quarter wave vertical, 20 metres = half wave vertical and Windom as backup.

To make quicker PSK31 QSOs and allow more contacts, please send only your RST report and your name. I will QSL the RST.

If a pileup developes, I will ask you to go UP 100 - 400Hz.

Please operate in a SPLIT mode and transmit 100 to 400 Hertz above your receive frequency.
