On behalf of the entire VK9XY Christmas Island DXpedition team, thank you for your generous support of our mission.

Your contribution is doing far more than helping us reach one of the world’s rarest DXCC entities. You are helping develop the next generation of DXpedition leaders and ensuring that the spirit of amateur radio continues to thrive for years to come.

The Pacific Islands DXpedition Group (PIDXG), in partnership with Youth on the Air (YOTA), was founded on a simple belief: young operators should be given real responsibility and the opportunity to lead. Because of supporters like your club, our team is not simply participating in a DXpedition—we are planning it, organizing it, fundraising for it, designing our stations, developing our operating strategy, and leading a world-class international expedition.

Your generosity also makes it possible for licensed young amateur radio operators around the world to participate through the NexGenRiB 2 remote operating platform. For many, this will be their very first opportunity to experience the excitement of working a pileup, operating as the DX, and discovering what makes DXpeditioning so special. Those experiences inspire future expeditioners, mentors, and leaders who will carry our hobby forward.

Every donation helps fund transportation, freight, communications, equipment, permits, safety, and educational opportunities that make this expedition possible. Most importantly, your support demonstrates confidence in young operators and encourages us to accept the responsibility of leading the future of DXpeditioning.

Please accept our sincere gratitude for your partnership and your commitment to amateur radio. We are honored to have your club standing with us as we prepare for VK9XY, and we look forward to representing your support from Christmas Island.

We hope you will follow our progress throughout the expedition, and we look forward to sharing our success with you when we return.

Thank you again for believing in us and in the future of our hobby.
