Cezar (VE3LYC) will be joined by Bob (KD1CT), as PA3EXX is no longer available for the trip. They plan to be active from the island for four days between 1 and 9 September, and to maintain one station on the air around the clock, operating on 40-10 metres CW and SSB. The team will meet in Noumea two days before leaving to the island. Sailing is supposed to take 2-3 days each way, depending on wind and currents. Dan, W4DKS (dan.sullivan[@]verizon.net) will be the pilot station for the operation. QSL via VE3LYC, direct or bureau; logsearch and OQRS on Club Log. This will a very difficult and very expensive project. The team is looking for financial support from groups and individuals who wish to assist in defraying some of the costs.
