🌊🔥 Dual Activation Adventure in Bukit Lawang & Berastagi, North Sumatra!
📅 June 3rd – June 6th, 2025

Get ready for a DXPortable adventure as we bring the airwaves alive from two breathtaking locations deep in the heart of North Sumatra: the jungle paradise of Bukit Lawang and the volcanic highlands of Berastagi!

🌿 Activation 1: Bukit Lawang – Echoes of the Wild
Broadcasting from deep inside Gunung Leuser National Park, we’ll be calling CQ to the rhythm of rustling leaves and wild gibbons overhead.
World-famous for its orangutan sanctuary and the mighty Bohorok River, Bukit Lawang will soon resonate with voices from across the globe.
This is more than just a radio activation—it’s a symphony of wilderness and wireless.

📍 Mark your calendar: June 3rd, 2025 – just a few hours activation before leaving to Medan!

🌋 Activation 2: Berastagi – Calling from the Haze
Next, we head into the volcanic heartland of Berastagi, where cool mountain air meets the fiery presence of Mount Sinabung and Mount Sibayak.
This activation will be held at the historic Soekarno House, adding a rich cultural backdrop to our expedition.

From sunrise QSOs in freezing air to starlit sessions echoing across the highlands—you won’t want to miss it!
