Subject: AW: sponsorship for DXpedition to VK9X and VK9C

Dear OM Joel,

attached please find our DXpedition report for VK9XU and VK9CU. As we German participants are no native English speakers, we tasked our DXpedition team mate Alan VK6CQ to write the English report rather than writing a German report and then translating it… 😊 To me it was fun reading it and I hope you will enjoy it, too.

Thanks again for the generous support from ADXA.

Have a great weekend and see you on the bands!

Greetings Elmar,

Thank you for your request for funding the VK9X and VK9C DXPedition.

The ADXA board has reviewed your request and approved a $300 donation for VK9XU and VK9CU. Our treasurer Glenn, N5RN, will take care of the payment in the coming days.

It will be tough path, but I hope to work VK9CU on 160 meters!

Our callsign will be VK9XU for Christmas Island (license confirmed) and a different callsign for Cocos (license confirmed, but callsign yet tbd). We have positive confirmation for accommodation on both islands and all flights are booked.
