[EIDXA] Fwd: Midway

[Joe Hetrick]

Hey guys,  I rx'd this.  Assumed it'd be of interest.


> Dear Fellow DXers:
>
>
>
> As you know by now, there is a multi-national team of eighteen  
> highly experienced DXpeditioners that will activate Midway Island  
> this October. Dave WB4JTT, and Tom N4XP, are our skilled co-leaders.
>
>
>
> Because of Midway’s unusual circumstances dealing with US  
> Governmental controls, it has not been active since 2002.  Before  
> that period, activity was sparse.   We will operate as many as six  
> radios on all bands from 160 through 6 meters on CW, SSB, RTTY and  
> SSTV.
>
>
>
> As with other DXpeditions of this magnitude, the cost of  
> transportation is immense, and is our biggest expense.  We need all  
> the assistance we can get, and are requesting financial support from  
> the DX community.  We would appreciate any help your club can  
> provide.  Would you please present this request to the membership  
> for consideration?  If there is a specific grant application that  
> needs to be completed, please forward it to n4xp at juno.com.
>
>
>
> Clubs who contribute over $750 will see their logo on the QSL card,  
> and their logo will be on all presentations that will be shown  
> worldwide.  All contributions are also listed on our web site.

> Information on procedures for making donations can be found on our

> For convenience, those making donations from Europe, please contact  
> Markus DL9RCF at dl9rcf at t-online.de for assistance with your  
> donation.   He is our financial representative for Europe and will
