Clipperton 2008 DXpedition

Jay, K4ZLE, member of the Clipperton 2008 team, has sent out the following press release:

"Time is drawing close for the Clipperton 2008 DXpedition. The team has been recruited. Plans and preparations are underway. Equipment is being staged, and your Clipperton 2008 team is chomping at the bit to make it a reality.

"Information on the planned operation can be found at the web site: http://www.clipperton2008.org

"Included on the web site is information on how you can support these activities, including providing financial support. As in most operations of this type, each individual has made a sizable up front financial commitment. Also, as in most operations of this type, there are other expenses.

"Our antenna plans are quite extensive and it takes a lot of coax to feed those antennas. If you have good quality 9913 or 213 coax sitting around, we can use it. You may ship your surplus coax to us and accomplish at least two objectives:

1) You become part of the support team. As such, in addition to the personal satisfaction that should give you, you will be listed on the official web page.
2) In addition, as a contributor your donation will be tax deductible to the full extent of current tax regulations. We will provide an appropriate receipt for your contribution.

"Prior to shipping to us, please contact Steve Hammer, K6SGH, at: k6sgh <at> clipperton2008 <dot> org
He will coordinate this effort.

"The countdown is underway. The radios and operators are ready to play. So what do you say; contribute your surplus coax today."
