UPDATES:
H40TA will be on the air from Dec. 21st, 2013 until january 10th, 2014.
This radio activity is a charity expedition dedicated for social service to support health care and poor people in Temotu.
Unfortunately a few operators quit with short notice but the H40TA expedition goes on as sceduled!

======================================================================================================================
After the terrible earthquake and tsunami on February 6th, 2013 a group of Radio Amateurs founded the Temotu Aid Radio Club (TARC). We are organizing aid for the local people, specially for supporting the LATA hospital.
Donations to support the local hospital are most welcome. The travel costs for the expedition will be fully financed by the operatores themselves. After spending the costs for mailing our QSL the balance of your donation goes straight 100% to the LATA hospital. Cash in USD, AUD, EUR or YEN is being accepted by letter. QSL service starts with minimum 3 US $ (or equivalent other currancy). IRC are not being accepted. No Credit Cards, no Paypal, do not donate big money, a few $ is OK.

If you are not interested to offer a donation with your QSL card you are requested NOT to do a QSO with H4ØTA in order to give others more chances for doing a QSO. Instead you can contact the H4ØTA club operators directly who are operating in parallel at the same time under their individual callsign and who offer QSL service also via buro free of charge.

Callsign: H4ØTA
Modes: SSB & CW
Bands: 80m - 10m
IOTA: OC-100

RIG:
ICOM 7000 and Ameritron ALS 500 (400 Watts)
Antenna: 80/40m Vertical (20m high) and a 30-10m Delta LOOP 3 x 7 m fed with twincable 450 Ohms.

That's Temotu: Nice honist natural people. The life is not much organized for tourists. There is no full food supply in the few small shops. No restaurant available. The few small simple hotels offer just a basic bed and a roof over your head. At the moment no internet (sometimes at the post office), no television. The mobile phones work only domesticly. Electricity is made by public generators and several times a day out of order. Roads are made of gravel and soil, no asphalt pavements. Flights are twice a week but cancelled very often due to bad weather or maintainance. There is no fresh meat available. Fish supply by local fishermen is not that hygenic because the fish is not being cooled in friges. Water supply comes straight out of the roof tanks which collect rain water. Sewage runs directly into the sea. Heavy storms, several earthquakes during the week, causing sometimes tsunami (happend in Feb. 2013, killing 10 people). Very hot during the day even at night. Moskitos causing Malaria and Denguee fever, rats jumping around. No bank, no foreign exchange. If you do not adopt your life during your stay you will suffer. We will fight through these challenges, just for your NEW ONE, and of coarse for our pride to do social aid for the local people !

39 years of continuous DX operation! The year 2006, my ham golden jubilee. Middle century of 2-way radio operation.
I am have today 338 confirmed countries in SSB and 139 in CW; 541 IOTA groups; 896 world islands; and 201 lighthouses situated in 51 countries of the six continents.
At this time I have high interest to contacting operations "air mobile", "maritime mobile", "lighthouses" and also any stations situated behind the arctic and antarctic circles and also in the exotic areas of the earth in the places called as "the lost lands".
However, I will be continue active on the air now and forever more.

The pictures on the text are in my QTH; front my radio room and tri-band antenna 3DX3 in background. The natural scenes are in my home-farm, my birthplace located about 40 km to northwest of Campina Grande. The older preserved stone-house was built by my grand-grandfather on the 18th century. The watter reservoir was built by myself since many years ago. In this paradise place my family and I live the vacations, holidays and week-ends, and from here I work mobile and portable.
