Article – RNZThe Fakaofo team plans to operate several stations from the 160-to-6-metre amateur bands using voice, Morse code and digital modes.Moera Tuilaepa-Taylor RNZ Pacific managerFor two weeks in November the remote Tokelauan atoll of Fakaofo will become a global communications hub. The remote Tokelau atoll of Fakaofo is 3,380 to 3,790 kilometres northeast of New Zealand – the number of people who live on Fakaofo is just over 470. However, this tiny dot in the Pacific is one of amateur radio’s most sought-after locations, and for two weeks in November will become a global communications hub. In amateur radio, “DX” comes from telegraph shorthand: “D” for distance and “X” for the unknown or distant. When asked how the atoll will benefit from this project, Silao said it would be on numerous fronts.
