Here are the emails in question - (April fool issue)
Joe
W1TW
I guess the first clue should be that the originator
can't even spell Andaman correctly.....any other
clues? (WCW NWO WWF).
Sure do wish VU4 and VU7 would come on!

The Adaman Islands will be activated in May! This
country, which is currently in the top 5 on the most
needed list, will be activated by Raj, VU2WCW, Haiji,
VU2NWO, and Kamil, VU2WWF from May 17-21. The
callsign will be VU4THU, and they will be active on
all bands using 5 watts to hamstick antennas. Raj
explains "This dxpedition is not about QSO numbers, it
is about frustrating dxers. We feel that dxers have
had it too easy lately, so we have set out to punish
them. One ham we know has worked almost 300 countries
running barefoot with wire antennas. This is
unacceptable! It must be because dxpeditions have
made it too easy. We want to get back to the basics
and make sure that only stations with large antennas
and amplifiers work rare DX."
The main frequencies will be 14.195, 21.295, 28.295 on
SSB, and 14.010, 21.010, and 28.010 on CW. QSL route
is via VU2NWO, with 2 green stamps or 2 IRC, plus SAE.
