I plan to operate from Vanuatu in the May, 2013, CQ WPX CW contest (and a few days before and after). 80-10m, using a K3, and an HF6V multiband vertical - from an un-air-conditioned thatched hut on a north-facing beach.
Slight chance for 160m - depends on what supports might be available for an inverted-L wire.
I don't expect to have internet available. I'll upload log to LOTW (Clublog too) promptly after returning to USA, in early June. Other QSLs to home call: K2PO (address above).
(Vanuatu includes about 82 islands. My expected QTH is on the island of Efate, grid RH42DF, IOTA OC-035.)

73,
Bill, K2PO
