Willy,ON5AX, and his XYL Magda,ON3AX, are working onboard the ship "RV Professor Khromov" (Spirit of Enderby) in the Ross Sea region from Feb 9 until Mar 10.

On its way down there they will also anchor near the islands Auckland (ZL9), Campbell (ZL9) and Macquarie (VK0M).

Unfortunately they are not allowed to conduct amateur radio activities from the islands and operating as /mm does not count for the DXCC or IOTA awards. On Ross Island they have a permission to work with their battery powered radios possibly also as guest OPs from McMurdo Base.

Willy and Magda will be active as OR3AX and OR4AX in CW, SSB and PSK31 using a vertical.

Their expedition will end on Norfolk Island (OC-005) where they plan to show up as VK9N/ON5AX from Mar 15-22.

QSL cards should be sent via QSL bureau or direct to their homecalls.
