Sint Maarten DXpedition - planning well underway

Co-leaders Joe W8GEX and Craig K9CT were on the island
this past week and have secured property for the CW and SSB stations to be located on the east and west sides of the island. These locations have clear shots to EU and NA.

ICOM is providing IC7600s, and Alpha will be providing their amplifiers for this DXpedition.

Four stations will be on continuously and manned by a 12 person team of experienced international operators. Logistical planning was completed for all of the equipment.

Their plan is to provide a loud signal for everyone to get a new DXCC entity on 10/10/10 for 10 days.

Local government, business and ham community have provided wonderful cooperation and support for their
operation.

More information will be available on their upcoming Web site.
