Spider Beam Antennas







This IOTA is a full day's drive north of Western Australia's capital Perth. The islands in the group are not easy to access without a good boat and support. Dirk Hartog Island can be accessed by arrangement with the owners, see their website. The island is suitable for the experienced, well equipped camper.

The group visited Dirk Hartog Island in 2005 with a modest 562 contacts being made due to mediocre propagation. The trip was the subject of a story in the Wireless Institute of Australia magazine "Amateur Radio".
