Heard Island is an Australian protectorate, part of a subantarctic island group(Heard Island and McDonald Islands) in the southwest Indian Ocean, some 4000 kilometers (approximately 2480 miles) southwest of Western Australia and 1000 kilometers (approximately 620 miles) north of Antarctica.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0I will certainly be listening to WBCQ tonight and, hopefully, recording the show for the SRAA<\/a>.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

For updates about the Heard Island DXpedition, check out their website<\/a> (and admire Jeff Murray’s<\/a> excellent official DXpedition artwork while you’re at it!).<\/div>\n
