Press Release
01/01/2008
Dear Fellow DXers,
Reluctantly, due to the current US economic situation, the DXpedition team has 
decided to postpone the CY0 DXpedition planned for 2009.
While we are hopeful to reorganize the DXpedition {possibly for 2010}, we have 
decided that rather than tie up the funds so graciously made available by our 
sponsors, we will return donations received so the sponsorship may be available 
to other DXpeditions for this year. any sponsoring organization may feel free 
to contact me with any questions regarding the matter. We are hopeful that our 
kind sponsors will be willing to renew their sponsorship when the Dxpedition is 
able to be reorganized in the future.
The sabledx.com website will remain functional for the time being.
Wishing all good DX and 73.
Sincerely,
Duane Traver, WV2B
Team Leader

E44M - Palestine -
The pilot station for our activity from Palestine will be Arturo, IK7JWY. He 
will be our main contact with the community of amateur radio operators. Thanks 
to Arturo, everyone can give a great help sending information about problems, 
suggestion or simple comments. Arturo has a great experience in contesting and 
dxing. Licensed in 1988, He is an homebrewing and CW enthusiast. He had 
important results in contesting: multi-operator team IH9P (2002-2003-2004-2005 
first world in their respective WWDX CW and SSB contests), Single-Operator IH9M 
2007 (first world and new world record as  S.O.80m High Power Assisted in the 
WWDX-CW). Now, He is mainly active on 20m CW SSB.
The function of the pilot station will be to collect requests and suggestions 
relating to the DXpedition, and then forward them to the team, and communicate 
to the public any instructions or informations from the team.
The online communication with the pilot station will be only in the forum 
support of the DXpedition, through messages from users in the special area of 
discussion. This will make useful for everyone the request made by someone.

Dear fellow hams, 

After 13 years of providing hams with no cost web space, e-mail forwarding and 
mailing list services through QSL.net and QTH.net, I have decided to retire. 
All QSL.net and QTH.net servers and Internet connections at my home QTH are 
being turned down. 

Scott KA9FOX has graciously decided to pick up where I left off, and he is in 
the process of migrating all services to new hardware. See below for an update 
on the status of the migration. 

I want to thank all of you for all of your support over the years, and I hope 
that you will support Scott as he takes over the reigns. 

See you on the air!
