T32C, is the call-sign of a DXpedition station to Kiritimati (Christmas Island) and counts as Eastern Kiribati for the DXCC. Kiribati or more correctly, the Republic of Kiribati, is in the Pacific Ocean and should not be confused with Christmas Island in the Indian Ocean, an overseas territory of Australia. This was a 24 day event held late in 2011, that is, 15 years ago. I was delighted to receive the card on the last day of the year, and its arrival was totally unexpected. The QSL card is four-sided and contains quite a bit of information about the DXpedition.

The LOTW entry matches the card and records four contacts: two on 28 MHz (10 metre band) and one each on 21 MHz (15 metres) and 14 Mhz (20 metre band).

Side two shows that the DXpedition made 213,116 contacts over 24 days and details of the station and antennas together with radio operators are also shown. It is an impressive and detailed QSL card, Sides three and four show further information about the DXpedition and lists the major sponsors and supporters. It would have been an expensive exercise and amateurs around the world took up the challenge of a contact (or more) to get the call T32C in their logs. Thanks to all concerned.

Here is (above) an extract from my Log Book of the World (LOTW) of my four contacts as listed in the QSL card. I was given credit for Eastern Kiribati for my ARRL DXCC.
