3W - The 3W6C team members are starting to make the extensive
preparations necessary for the 10-18 April 2010 DXpedition [425DXN
948] to Con Co (AS-185), Vietnam. A large group of operators will
be running four stations 24 hours a day, with a target of 60,000
QSOs on as many different bands as possible, including 160 and 80
metres. Such an extensive operation requires considerable
financial resources, and fund raising has just started. Detailed
information on how contribute to the expedition can be found at
www.3w6c.qrv.ch [TNX HB9DST]
7Q - Barrie, G4AHK will operate holiday style as 7Q7BJ while travelling
