Several members of the Perseverance DX Group (PDXG) will activate Raivavae Island (Austral Islands), French Polynesia, 15-29th April 2022, for approximately 12 operating days.

The plan is to have radios on the air continually, as propagation allows. The call sign TX5N was issued for this project.

Team members include - Steve/W1SRD, Doris/K0BEE, Rob/N7QT, Melanie/N7BX, Heye/DJ9RR, Walt/N6XG and Gene/K5GS. The team is planning to operate 160m - 10m (including 60m), CW, SSB and Digital.

The team will meet in Papeete, Tahiti, on April 12th and fly to Raivavae on 15th April 2022, returning to Papeete on 29th April 2022. The team expects to make between 60,000 - 80,000 QSOs.

The operating location, Tama Raivavae Resort, will provide a small bungalow for each team member and a separate building for radio operations. Tama Raivavae has hosted many past DX-peditions.

Equipment will include Elecraft K3 transceivers with 500 and 1.5K watt linear amplifiers. Antennas will be verticals and a hexbeam, antenna placement will be on the beach. We expect to have some internet availability for daily log uploads to M0URX.com
