PRESS RELEASE 2006-5
UPDATE
Peter I DXpedition- 3YØX
For Immediate Release
January 10, 2006
From: Ralph, KØIR and Bob, K4UEE
Peter I DXpedition co-leaders
We are pleased to announce that the 3Y0X DXpedition has been given a
substantial grant by the ARRL/Colvin Award. This is a prestigious award and
is important to our overall DXpedition financing. Our special thanks to the
Awards Committee.
Our twenty-two-man team now includes Wayne, KU4V and Robert, SP5XVY. Their
special expertise rounds out the team.
Our sea container containing all of our equipment, and most of the team's
personal gear is aboard the vessel DAP Mares which is now in the S. Shetland
Islands. Our foodstuffs are also aboard after being purchased in Punta
Arenas, Chile. The team will be reunited with their equipment and gear on
or about Feb, 2nd to begin the 4 day voyage to Peter I. Remember these
dates are target dates and weather dependent.
The team has been assigned the special Chilean Antarctic call sign of XR9A
for use to/from Peter I. We hope to be QRV from Punta Arenas for a few days
and then maritime mobile to and from Peter I. There is also a possibility
that the team will also be QRV from the S. Shetlands for a few days after
the Peter I DXpedition is complete.
Our website, www.peterone.com, will be updated regularly and should be
checked often. The website should be considered the best source of updated
and correct DXpedition news direct from the DXpedition leaders.
We are currently designing a special "souvenir " QSL card to
commemorate your QSOs.
Please QSL via N2OO.
