"Thank you" to those who shared your thoughts for a Caribbean Xpedition next year. I have decided to go to both V3 and HK0 San Andres between June 19 and July 6. I am returning to V3 because last ear's trip was too late in the season to feed the European need. HK0 demand is high everywhere so that was easy to decide. This DXpedition will have one...and only one...focus - SIX METERS. Small rental cottages are already reserved on the eastern shore of both islands. The budget for this two-island trip is a bit staggering and beyond my oocket book, but I am going to "go for it" believing sufficient inancial support will come. Mick McManus W1JJ will be the DXpedition reasurer collecting support monies,. Mick will also be doing QSL manager duty as well. Pat W5OZI has agreed to once again be my Pilot Station because Internet access will be limited...as best. The station at both locations will be a KW to 7 elements within 30 meters of the Caribbean shore. Website www.qth.com/k7bv/caribe2008 will appear in the next day or so and grow as more details are firmed up. And...as always...may the Es be with us! 73, Dennis Motschenbacher K7BV

The team has arrived on Isle du Sud and is busy erecting antennas. Apparently the boat trip wasn't very pleasant due to high seas but the team is in high spirits and raring to go! |
