| Roger G3SXW, Ian G3WVG and Nigel G3TXF operated as H44SX, H44VG and H44XF from Honiara in May 91. This was a three-man CW only operation. 23,378 CW QSOs were made during the one week.
Peter H44KA of Solomon Telekom was key to the success of the operation because, through Peter, we were able to operate from a disused HF telecom station on Vivaya Ridge perched above the capital Honiara. Peter H44KA also helped with the installation of the HF beams and with providing support during our brief visit to Honiara. Thanks Peter! |
