The HKØTU DXpedition of 1983 was an event organized by amateur radio operators who traveled to Malpelo Island, located in the Pacific Ocean, about 550 km (340 mi) southwest of Colombia. Malpelo Island is a small and remote island, uninhabited and with difficult access, making it a rare and sought-after destination for amateur radio enthusiasts. The main goal of the DXpedition was to give as many amateur radio operators around the world the opportunity to contact Malpelo Island and earn a unique "DX" (distance) contact.

The DXpedition team typically set up multiple radio stations with different modes and bands to maximize the number of contacts they could make. They also used the latest technologies and equipment to ensure that communications were reliable, despite the remote location of the island and the challenging weather conditions.

The HKØTU DXpedition of 1983 was a rare event. It was organized by a group of experienced amateur radio operators with the necessary skills and equipment to operate remotely. The team also had to navigate the logistical challenges of organizing a DXpedition to a remote location, such as obtaining permits, arranging transportation and accommodation, and coordinating with the local authorities.

It is important to note that the HKØTU DXpedition of 1983 is a historical event, and the information available is limited.
