    I have been fortunate enough to activate several DXpeditions in the Pacific Islands, Melanesia and Micronesia - now it is time for a little bit of pay back.
    See how you can be involved and help.

      Hi Molly,
      There are a number of very capable guys i am working with throughout the Pacific Islands. I am sure many of them will be able to get a license in time. The license is one thing - getting something suitable to operate with is a completely different story. They will solely depend on the generosity of others to help them out, they simply cannot afford to buy a rig themselves when they only earn a few dollars per hour if they are lucky.... cheers

    Very nice project! I have friends who were pilots and flew out of both sides of the island. They usually had very interesting landing strips that were not always level to land at especially in the mountain regions. Most of the time you landed uphill and took off downhill despite wind direction. I am a pilot myself and was always interested in how that worked.
    I was first made aware of this project through Josh at HRCC & Smoking Ape on Coffee and Ham Radio channels. I think I would like to join in with a small donation. Thanks for all your videos and look forward to hearing more about PNG! All the best, 73 de KI5HXM!

      Hi Brent, It is always fun flying into some of the remote villages.
      I too have a pilots licence and it always fascinates me landing on "postage stamp" size strips out in the jungle.
      For example:

      Cheers, and thank you for helping out.
