DXpedition to EASTER ISLAND

NEW ZEALAND DX TIMES PAGE 40[...] JUNE 2007


March 16 to 25, 2007

After a good deal of thought, I chose the marvellous Eton E1-XM as my
primary receiver and the small Kaito KA1103 as back-up; the Eton E1-XM had
recently supplanted my long cherished Sony 2010 as my favourite DXing
portable. I was not disappointed in either receiver! In my many years of
seaside DXing,

I've never found an antenna that performed as well as a Beverage, so I
selected two 500-foot wires as my antennas; weight and bulk concerns led me
to adopt the Beverage-On-the-Ground (BOG) configuration and a very light
28-gauge, Teflon-coated wire. I was concerned about the BOG configuration
and using such tiny wire; again, I was not disappointed. My favourite
full-size headphones, a magnificent new Edirol R-09 digital audio recorder
and my trusty WRTH rounded-out the DX package.

Abschluss:

The final all-session count was 235 stations received

countries, on all continents. However, as wonderful as the DX was, the
scenery, the monuments, the archaeological sites almost without number and
the extraordinarily friendly inhabitants of Easter Island were even more
memorable. My visit to Easter Island was truly the most fun that I've ever
had with my clothes on!
