Tarawa Atoll (OC-017)

Between 9 April 2023 and 30 April 2023, a team of amateur radio operators from the Rebel DX Group were on Tarawa Atoll. Most of the Group’s activity took place from North Tarawa.

The team used the callsign – T30 while on the island and had planned to be activate on all amateur radio bands from 160m to 10m.
