This is from Radio Team Leader Dave, K3EL:

We are approaching our last weekend on Heard Island. One of our objectives is to give an All-Time New One (ATNO) to as many DXers as possible (we all like band-fills but they don’t give the same thrill as a first contact with an entity). To support this goal, we will be taking the following measures: 

–        We will identify some of our operating positions as “ATNO Stations” that will be specifically asking for ATNO contacts or new mode contacts during the upcoming weekend (Heard Island time). Please only call these stations if a QSO with Heard Island gives you an All-Time New One or a new mode. Watch the message box in DXA for instructions and information.  We will post information regularly on bands / modes where the ATNO stations are operating.

–        Weather-permitting, we will extend our stay, with the final day of radio operation being 11^th April and departure on the 12^th.
