>>> SCARBOROUGH REEF 2007 <<<
The following announcement comes from Tom Harrell (N4XP) through Don
Greenbaum (N1DG).
"After three years of effort to obtain permission to land and operate from
the most needed entity in the world, that needed authorization has been
received. A multi-national team led by W6RGG will operate from Scarborough
Reef for ten days in late April. BA1HAM and BV4FH have been
instrumental in bringing this operation to reality with ongoing support being
provided by N4XP, N1DG, K5YY and N6MZ.
A team is being assembled that will include members from Asia, Europe and the
USA.
As with any DXpedition to a location such as this, transportation is very
costly and will be the largest single expense. Success will depend on the
contributions of the DX community.
Please QRX for more information as it becomes available and the web site is
activated".
