VP6R PITCAIRN ISLAND DXPEDITION NEWS (Updates). The following was posted
on the VP6R Web page (https://pitcairndx.com/news-and-updates/), August
14th and 17th with pictures:
  * August 14th: Today the RV Braveheart completed the loading of its
    cargo, including all our Pitcairn Island Dxpedition equipment. Our
    Flex radios, ACOM amplifiers, Yagi and vertical antennas, masts,
    feedlines, computers, network gear, tools, and our personal luggage
    is all aboard and securred. The vessel will depart Tauranga, New
    Zealand early next week.
      We’ve had a slight change in plans which benefits everyone. The
    Braveheart will make a preliminary stop at Pitcairn on September 6th.
    Our gear will come off the vessel and be stored on the island until
    we arrive on about October 17. This should get us on the air faster
    and circumvent any potential weather delays.
      Things are moving quickly now and our team is anxious to get under-
    way. If you’ve supported us, we thank you. If not, please consider
    doing so. Cash is flowing out very rapidly now. No matter what, let’s
    do this thing and have some fun!

  * August 17th: Here are some images taken during the arrival of our
    sea container at the pier and the transfer of our gear onto the
    Braveheart. It has yet to be stowed and secured. Nigel and a friend
    are seen seated in the container.  Matt Jolly, Nigel’s son, is in
    the “selfie” with our gear in the background. The lattice tower
    sections are part of the DX Engineering ninty foot 160 meter vertical.
