NO1Z/KH1 1988 Howland Island

 

The NØIZ/KH1 DXpedition in 1988 was an amateur radio operation from Howland Island. Howland Island is a small, uninhabited island in the Pacific Ocean that the United States administers as an unincorporated territory. The operators operated from Howland Island and used the call sign NØIZ/KH1. A group of amateur radio operators organized this DXpedition. The goal of the DXpedition was to give radio amateurs worldwide an opportunity to make contact with Howland Island, which is considered a rare location for amateur radio operators to reach. Howland Island DXpeditions are considered rare and challenging due to the island's remote location and the difficulties of getting permission and logistics to operate from such a small and remote island.
