One of the little extras for the trip was to get a special event call sign. ZL9CNB – The ZL9 prefix is specific for the Auckland Sub-Antarctic Islands. As there are no permanent residents on these islands, the ZL9 call is seldom heard and only if Hams mount special expeditions – from memory there was an attempt about 7 years ago and they were unable to operate as they couldn’t get here because of the weather.
