Press Release

__________________________________________________________________

The Intrepid-DX Group is pleased to announce our next DXpedition, as T6PSE 
from Afghanistan to take place during ten days in May of 2011. Due to 
security concerns, the exact dates and location of the DXpedition will not 
be given at this time. The Intrepid-DX Group is the same group which brought 
you the April, 2010 YI9PSE DXpedition from Iraqi Kurdistan.

Once again, ICOM America has agreed to be our Radio Sponsor, ACOM-K1LZ is 
providing the very robust Acom amplifiers. Antennas are being provided by 
SteppIR Antenna Systems. DX Engineering, The DX-Store and The RF Connection 
are also committed to sponsoring the operation.

Our primary objective is to activate Afghanistan with a goal
of providing as many DXers as possible a "new one" with this rare
DXCC entity and, as a secondary objective, to give as many band-slots
as possible. We will focus on North and South America during those periods 
when propagation is possible to those areas.



The team is expected to consist of ten operators including: Co-Leader Paul 
Ewing-N6PSE, Co-Leader David Collingham-K3LP, Hrane Milosevic-YT1AD, Krassy 
Petkov-K1LZ, John Kountz-WO1S/T6EE, Heathem Sabah-YI1UNH, David Flack-AH6HY, 
Jack Ritter-W0UCE and Wayne Rogers-W5KDJ.


At this time we are seeking contributions from sponsors to help defray
the very significant logistics costs of this DXpedition. All team members
will be covering their own travel costs and accommodations. Donations are 
needed to cover Shipping and Security costs.

Details of how to donate appear on our website 
(http://www.intrepid-dx.com/t6pse/index.php) which is now live. PayPal 
donations may be made directly via the site.

All donations of $10 USD or more will be acknowledged.

The logos of all DX clubs etc which have helped to sponsor the
DXpedition will be shown on the QSL card, as will the names and
call signs of those who make an individual contribution in advance of
the DXpedition (subject, in each case, to a certain minimum amount).
