Thanks to so many of you, the necessary up-front expenses were getting close to being covered by the pledges received at that time. I was also hopeful that the larger DX associations and foundations would step forward to contribute as we were getting close to realization. > > At this point in time, I have no other choice than to report that the funding is not sufficient to move forward. As I am sure you know, there are a number of large DXpeditions being arranged for late 2015 and early 2016, and they are more or less competing for the same resources. I didn't manage to create sufficient interest among potential external (non-ham) donors, and my one-man concept is of course somewhat controversial by nature. Though, I am still convinced that - even if my particular approach is not necessarily the solution - future DXpeditioning has to find other forms in order to remain sustainable. > > After having received permission for Bouvet from NPI (Norwegian Polar Institute), my wife (!), my employer (5 months leave without pay) and getting close to the sufficient up-front funding (you), this is a bitter pill to swallow. But I am extremely grateful to all of you for having lived this dream with me. And not the least to my angel sponsor who kept things going. > > As I stated from the beginning, don't be sad, someone else will activate Bouvet! > > Thank you again for your enthusiasm and devotion to our wonderful hobby. > > 73 - Mark - ON4WW From rhaendel at q.com Sun May 17 17:52:04 2015 From: rhaendel at q.com (Rich Haendel) Date: Sun, 17 May 2015 16:52:04 -0500 Subject: [EIDXA] Radio for sale, Message-ID: <0B25CB5442BA4D0AA62A52F1373E4B9F@dell755> I have an ICOM ID-31 for sale, brand new, never taken it out of the box.

A food fund will be set up, all ops will share equally in the food/drink expenses. For rest/sleeping, ops can sleep in their vehicles, bring motor homes, campers or tents.
