ISLANDS NEXT

THE TEAM DE KURE - K7C - Members of the Team of K7C have written August 19 the following thing: Now the great task comes from keeping the whole team, the radii, the antennas, the computers, the food. And to leave the Atoll of Kure, the most distant in Hawaii, where their rocking palms, the guitars, the rum, the juice, the fruit, they are a delight. And you could think that Kure is very near Hawaii, but they are 1375 miles (2213 km)! that is to say the same distance between Honolulu and Los Angeles. Now of Kure we will pass the islands of Kauai and Niihau, for the western side, with a long trip toward beyond Nihoa, the last of the islands Hawaiians and 400 km (250 miles) we will arrive at the island Necker, where they begin a series of islands desérticas until arriving to Midway, the biggest military base up to 1993, but that now it is transformed into a refuge of the fauna. And beyond Midway 60 miles it is our final destination Kure, a great atoll of coral ( http://www.soest.hawaii.edu/GG/HCV/haw_formation.html ) in the one that can memorize a lot ( http://www.hawaiianatolls.org/about/kure.php  ) In the past, the DXpedicionarios flew by plane to Kure from Midway.

Consequently they are requesting the cooperation of the operators of the stations that you/they are very near their area of the east of Europe. They will begin August 27 at 1500z o'clock and they will look for the Distant one This, OC, AF and America of the North in 20 meters. In 40 meters in the afternoon toward ACE, OC, AF and NA. August 28 at the beginning of the morning and up to 0400z o'clock the conditions are good for NA, INC in 40 meters. Around 0330 o'clock toward the coast west in 20 meters as well as NA, INC, OC and ACE. At 0500z o'clock one will work everything. This plan will depend on the propagation and changes can be made. The success will depend on the cooperation of the stations of Europe. please it extends this mensaje!¡Gracias for its cooperation, CU of the island of Achziv!
