An international team of 10 operators will be active from Swains Island as W8S.
Operators from the Netherlands, Germany and the United Sates prepared for this operation for 6 years and flew in to American Samoa this week to prepare for the trip to Swains.
The W8S Swains DX expedition team is going to serve the Ham Radio community around the world, where more than 100,000 people will be waiting for them. Many of them have donated to this non-profit event and are anxiously waiting to receive the images from Swains Island.
For the first time ever, Elon Musk’s StarLink internet will be live on the Swains Island, as well as live video coverage via their YouTube channel and other media outlets.
The W8S Swains DX expedition Team is going to attempt to make at least 80,000 contacts with Ham Radio operators all around the world and put Swains Island on the map!
