Biography

Licensed since 1988, 3D2AG operates both from Fiji from the home QTH of Fiji (OC-016) and Rotuma (as 3D2AG/p) and is QRV 3.5-144 MHz, on SSB, CW, RTTY, FT8, FT4, JT65 and EME (on request). Main radio interests are DX, VHF (6m) long-distance propagation monitoring, and antenna testing and construction. Preferred mode is CW but local high noise levels and blocked short path to Europe often require the use of FT8 to achieve QSOs. Beware of pirates! If in doubt of a QSO, please email me first.

QSL INFORMATION: OQRS via ClubLog or direct request via PayPal highly recommended for safety to this Email address: nyeurt@gmail.com. Suggested $4.00; please do not forget to include your call, full QSO data including date and time, and your mailing address in transaction comments. Optionally please also drop your QSL card only either via postcard mail or buro, as we do value your card for our collection. Direct postal requests at your own risk and NOT RECOMMENDED: most of the received postal radio mail is stolen at the local post office.

Only paper logs are used on CW and SSB by 3D2AG and 3D2AG/p since 1988, and online logs do not cover periods prior to July 2022 at this time. For older QSOs not found online, please request directly via PayPal including all QSO data in remarks/comments.

The OM also held the callsign FO0DER (later upgraded to FO5RK) and was QRV from Mangareva Island (IOTA OC-063) from November 14-22, 2000. Other calls include ZK1AGG Rarotonga South Cook Islands, T30AR from Tarawa, Western Kiribati and FK/FO5RK from Nouméa, New Caledonia; some of the QSL cards are shown above. QSL for all these operations is via 3D2AG. There are no managers; before 1988 W9TU / K6AG held the 3D2AG call and cards should not be sent to them. Sam FK8DD was kindly QSL manager for a time between 2008 and 2011.
