A35AY about Fafa Island Resort
Fafa Island Resort is situated on an 18 acres palm covered offshore island 7Km north of Nuku'alofa, the capital of the Kingdom of Tonga.
It takes 30 minutes by car from international airport to wharf and another 30 minutes by boat from wharf to the island.
They allow me to operate HAM Radio there in the resort. Following is one of many reply emails from them.
> Hello Aki,
> thank you for your email and interest in staying here on Fafa with us
> No problem to bring your antenna with you
> In the past we had many ham radio operators here, from germany, italy, usa and australia.
> So you would be the first japanese on Fafa Island
> We can provide electricity for 24 hours, no problem.
> Best regards from Tonga
