E51MWA

E51MWA will be activating Manihiki Atoll in the North Cook Islands October 9-20, 2025. A team of six operators will operate CW, SSB, and FT8. Five of the operators are from the Western Washington DX Club and together operated as T88WA on Babeldaob Island, Palau and H44WA on Guadalcanal, Solomon Islands. The team members include Robert Fanfant, N7QT who is a veteran of many DXpeditions; YL Robin Amundson, WA7CPA; Jack Prendergast, N7JP; James McDonald, KC7EFP, and Brian Moran N9ADG.

We proudly introduce our sixth team member, Violetta Latham, KN2P, a 21-year-old YL, an up-and-coming SSB contester, a pilot and flight instructor, and organizer of K3LR Team Exuberance. Following our project Violetta will fly directly to PJ2T for an all-youth contest.

Violetta and Robin will team up on the operating schedule. We believe it will be a unique pairing of two YL’s on the same operating schedule rotation on a mixed team DXpedition
