Hello All, My wife and I are planning a vacation to New Zealand & Australia sometime early next year for several weeks. I won't be taking my 775DSP with me[!], but I would like to take my h/t along, just for the experience. I have never done this before; if you have, either on a vacation or through a DXpedition, I'd very much like to hear from you! I made a DX contact on 15 meters, back in March of 2008 to New Zealand, ZM4A. I would very much like to see their contest station and will contact them before I go! Any suggestions on what I should do...and not do to prepare for this? If I do work any HF, it'll probably be from someone's QTH. All thoughts and recommendations will be most gratefully received. Many thanks for taking the time to respond! 73, Alan...KI6HPO
