Heard Island – VK0 – DXpedition
By KK6EK, Dr. Robert Schmieder
______________________________________________________________________

After 5 months of planning, Cordell Expeditions is pleased to
announce a DXpedition to Heard Island, Territory of Australia, in
early 2014. We have assembled a core team, arranged for the vessel,
and are awaiting the landing permit and radio callsign. Initial team
members, collaborating organizations, and other resources will be
announced in the near future.

The expedition will be multi-disciplinary, with three major
activities: Communications, Environmental Science, and Documentation.
We will be active on all bands and all modes, implement a variety of
innovative real-time communications technologies, and field a variety
of scientific projects that are designed to observe and document some
of the unique resources on this extraordinary island. We will use
the latest version of DXA (www.cordell.org/DXA) for real-time online
presentation of log data, images, and video from Heard Island.

This project follows the very successful expedition to Heard Island
carried out by this group in 1997. Details of that operation can be
seen at www.cordell.org/HI. The website for the 2014 DXpedition is

We invite your participation in this project, as a potential team
member, supporter, or eventually as a callsign in our radio log! If
you have a particular interest in Heard Island or may be interested
in joining the expedition, we invite you to contact us.

Schmieder (KK6EK) at schmieder@cordell.org.
