We Are Proud Sponsors of the Following Upcoming DXpeditions

Rotuma Island 2024

Rotuma Island is an island dependency of Fiji located in the South Pacific Ocean, 400 miles (640 km) north-northwest of Suva, Fiji’s capital. Rotuma is a volcanic island surrounded by eight islets. Sighted in 1791 by the British naval ship Pandora during its search for the HMS Bounty mutineers, the main island was formerly called Grenville. The group was annexed by Great Britain in 1881 and attached administratively to Fiji, then a British possession. Operation from Rotuma as 3D2Y will be from November 15 to December 4, 2024 and include an entry in the CQWW CW contest.
