GOVERNMENT GRANTS ACCESS FOR TOKELAU DXPEDITION

The Tokelau DXpedition team has received the necessary written permission to bring the team to the New Zealand island territory in November. The Perseverance DX Group and the Western Washington DX Club made the announcement in late July, saying that plans are going forward for the 14-day activation on the atoll, where the operators will be on the HF bands using CW, SSB, RTTY and FT8 in fox/hound mode. This will be the first DXpedition to Tokelau since the ZK3A activation in 2019.

Organisers said that they are now coordinating with the government to handle the logistics for sleep and meal accommodation as well as their operating location. A callsign has not yet been announced. Tokelau is about 480 kilometres, or 300 miles, north of Samoa.
