Scale map of Kalayaan Island Group

     The Philippines has territorial jurisdiction and sovereignty over the Kalayaan Island Group which forms part of the Spratly Island Group. The Municipality of Kalayaan Island is located in the Province of Palawan, Republic of the Philippines.

     Pagasa is the biggest island of the group and it is 32.7 hectares. It is 903 Kilometers (579 miles) due Southwest of Manila.

     There have been activities in the Spratlys from foreign controlled islands but this may be the only activation from the Philippine territories in the area after a very long time.

     Operation will be on 160 to 6M with wire antennas and a Force 12 C3S in a DXpedition Kit. 2 stations will be on simultaneously. We will bring a generator to complement the intermittent operation of the municipality's generator.
