Photo Gallery for the VK9XD CQWW SSB contestpedition 2003

1. The AM Broadcast station at Christmas Island, operating on 1422kHz. The radio station antenna
collapsed in June 2004 during maintenance, and the station has been since de-commissioned. This was
located less than 500m from the 2003 VK9XD operation, and the reason for difficult operation conditions
on the 160m band.

2. View of the 43m crane holding up the 160/80 and 40m wire arrays, photo taken about 500m distant.
3. Closer view of the crane and Hygain Explorer 14 antenna used on the higher bands..
