Program: Baker 2018
Presented by:
Tom N4XP
Tom, a SEDXC member and Co-Leader of the recent Baker Atoll, KH1/KH7Z DXpedition will bring to SEDXC the first club presentation of that difficult, but quite successful operation. The on-island team of 16 operators plus pilot and support team put Baker, the 6th Most Wanted entity, on the air from June 27-July 6, 2018. Baker, an uninhabited atoll lying 1,920 miles SW of Hawaii almost halfway between Hawaii and Australia, is a National Wildlife Refuge protected by the US Fish & Wildlife Service. This tough venue where Mother Nature, antenna restrictions, and marginal propagation reigned supreme generated nearly 70,000 QSOs, including 18,000 unique calls.
