Hello fellow EIDXA members,


As you probably know, our good friend and EIDXA supporter,
Ralph Fedor - K0IR, has pulled together a fabulous team of
experienced DXpeditioners and secured transportation and
other required documentation in order to put Bouvet Island
on the air in 2018. Hopefully, the propagations gods will
cooperate! Their website is live and you can read all about
the DXpedition and see the team members at
http://www.bouvetdx.org


Bouvet Island is currently #2 on the most wanted list and
this upcoming  DXpedition will be a first class operation.
In addition to K0IR, two other operators are EIDXA
supporters / member. Craig Thompson - K9CT and our Glenn
Johnson - W0GJ will be part of the team going to Bouvet
Island.


So far this year, EIDXA has provided limited financial
support for a few smaller DXpeditions but holding back our
support dollars from both the Tom Hise fund and the club
funds waiting on "The Big One". We need to decide the level
of funding we want to provide the Bouvet Island DXpedition
prior to October 1 in order to use the remainder of our
FY2016 funds. Our by-laws allow us to spend up to $1,000 per
FY from the Tom Hise fund with matching funds from the
general EIDXA funds. We have used $425 from the Tom Hise
fund in FY2016 so we have $575 from that fund to use before
October 1.


I would like to propose three levels of financial support
and get members feedback on which level we should provide
the Bouvet Island DXpedition from our FY2016 funds. Please
provide me with your recommendation no later than September
1 so we can easily meet our October 1 FY2016 closing date.
Also, remember this has no impact on what we can donate from
our FY2017 funds after October 1 to other DXpeditions.


Proposal #1: $500 from the Tom Hise fund with $500 match
from the EIDXA general funds for a total of $1,000 donation

Proposal #2: $500 from the Tom Hise fund with $250 match
from the EIDXA general funds for a total of $750 donation

Proposal #3: $250 from the Tom Hise fund with $250 match
from the EIDXA general funds for a total of $500 donation


Thanks and 73,


Joe - K8OM
