The station went from 50 watts to 500 Watts and a 250 ft tower. Because of our location, frequency we were heard half way round the world. Received a DXers card and tape from Germany! Other reports of years of daily excellent reception in New Zealand till the station was shut down.

It was used as a tug (to help with docking supply ship) and a small fishing platform. It had a large diesel engine for power. No sail! I had operated it.

I had been working for a while on a project that would have re-opened up Canton Island for Eco-Tourism and some other things. Unfortunately - with someone in the Kiribati government announcing that "we are sinking" with the rise of the ocean, its tough to find investors now. I think all we can do, for the time being, is share our memories.
