Yeah, funny isn't it? A hotly contested lump of rock fought over by two rather dodgy governments, yet it's possible to get permission to operate.
However, in the Home Of The Brave and the Land Of The Free it's not allowed to go to KP1 and KP5. Hmmmm. :-) Dave G0OIL ----- Original Message ---- From: Ron Notarius W3WN <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: harris_ruben <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; dx-chat List <dx-chat@njdxa.org> Sent: Saturday, 10 February, 2007 5:10:15 PM Subject: RE: [DX-CHAT] Is this for real???

Received today (via Google alert) Southgate Amateur Radio Club RSS Feed - http://www.southgatearc.org Scarborough Reef DXpedition Announcing the 2007 DXpedition to Huang Yan Dao - better known as Scarborough Reef After three years of effort to obtain permission to land and operate from the most needed entity in the world, that needed authorization has been received. A multi-national team led by W6RGG will operate from Scarborough Reef for ten days in late April 2007. BA1HAM and BV4FH have been instrumental in bringing this operation to reality with ongoing support being provided by N4XP, N1DG, K5YY and N6MZ. A team is being assembled that will include members from Asia, Europe and the USA. As with any DXpedition to a location such as this, transportation is very costly and will be the largest single expense. Success will depend on the contributions of the DX Community. Please QRX for more information as it becomes available and the web site is activated. N4XP for the 2007 DXpedition to Huang Yan Dao. via Carl Smith, DX Magazine
