Update 21 August 2008

VK6CNL Cape Naturaliste and VK6CLL Cape Leeuwin were activated for the International Lighthouse Weekend on the 16/17 August 2008. Propogation was not the best with contacts across Australia and New Zealand only but a lot of fun was had with lots of visitors to the stations. See the lighthouse page for the logs

West OX DX

The group is an affiliation of radio amateurs located in Western Australia interested in working portable amateur radio stations as part of IOTA and lighthouse activation.

We have been the first to activate the IOTA groups OC243 Breaksea Island in 2001 and OC266 Viney Island in 2004. We have also visited Browse Island OC234 in September 2000, Pasco Island OC071 in 2004, Dirk Hartog Island OC206 in August 2005 and Cheyne and Rottnest Islands in 2007. We aim to work all West Australian IOTA groups.
