Description

Our March meeting program speaker is noted DXer and DXpeditioner Dr. Arnold Shatz, N6HC, who will show a video and discuss the 2019 Pitcairn Island DXpedition where he was an operator and team physician. If the place sounds familiar that’s because Pitcairn is where “Mutiny on the HMS Bounty" mutineers led by Fletcher Christian hid from 1790 to 1794...and a permanent settlement continued after that. Today about 50 individuals live on Pitcairn Island, most of them descendants of the mutineers. In the late 1990’s the PVARC was fortunate to have the island’s long-time ham radio operator Tom Christian (VP6TC) at one of our monthly meetings. Tom Christian died in 2013 at age 77
