Western Samoa Islands
Getting to your final destination is not always as simple as it may seem. To get to the Tokelau Islands (ZK3RR) from New Zealand involves a stop-off of at least two days in Western Samoa. So what better way to spend those idle hours but DXing as 5W1FP. Then the only way to reach the Tokelau Islands is a two day boat ride by local inter Island freighter. In all we spent a total of five days in Western Samoa in order to get to and from the Tokelau Islands. To see a few photos of our temporary QTH in
