DUCIE ISLAND, VP6, OC-182 Effective Nov 16, 2001, Ducie Island has been added to the DXCC Entity List. However the very first activation of this island will need a little more time to take place.

They were about 80 miles from Ducie when the team made the decision to cancel the DXpedition based on forecasted wave predictions for Ducie Island. Since they were a few days late and their stay on Ducie had to be finished on Nov 23 anyway they decided to cancel the trip to return to Gambier Island by Nov 27. The team will now operate a multi-op from Pitcairn Island during the CQWW CW Contest.
