3D2Y will operate from Rotuma Island from November 15 to December 4, 2024.

The 6 member team will operate locally with three 500w Elecraft stations on 6m-160m. Additionally, the DXpedition will include two of W6IZT’s NexGenRiBs.

One of the primary goals of this DXpedition is to “Enable DXpeditioning for the Next Generation of Amateur Radio Operators.” The NexGenRiBs will be operated by a team of young amateur radio operators who will get to experience the excitement that comes with being part of this DXpedition and what goes into making this type of activity a success.

Increase the range of any handheld radio, A Baofeng, Yaesu or Icom with a counterpoise, otherwise known as a "tiger tail". A tiger tail is a length of wire added to an antenna to take the 1/4th wave rubber duck to a half wave dipole antenna.
