Dr Charles IMHO there is no human right to go on a DXpedition. If we cannot afford it, there will no operation. If somebody has or can get the means, and has the inclination, all very good. I just dont like the idea of not uploading to lOTW unless................. It goes against the spirit of hamradio, in my wiev. 73 and good luck Rag la5he Hey Rag, the problem for me in S E Asia and being retired, it is the lack of funding UP FRONT during the planning phase. I am struggling to find about $6,000 usd to travel repeatedly to Myanmar Burma to talk to the right people in the right way to launch a big DXpedition there. I think money can come in, BUT MY PROBLEM IS WHAT IF THE PLAN FAILS? The money is spent, no refunds possible, and no operation.
Advance funding is somewhat possible, but if the effort fails, there will be no money to refund. Do u have any ideas about that situation? de HS0ZCW, Charly Harpole k4...@hotmail.com ________________________________ > Date: Sun, 20 May 2012 12:37:30 +0100 > From: la...@yahoo.no > Subject: [DX-CHAT] F Y I > To: dx-chat@njdxa.org; d...@dxhf.darc.de > CC: dx-...@mailman.qth.net > > > How would N1DG know that income immediately dries up when uploading > early to LoTW?
