> Dear INDEXA Colleagues:

> On behalf of the Lone Star DX Association, Mike Thomas, NA5U, announces 
> the
> following:
>
> For immediate release
> August 2, 2005
>
> The Lone Star DX Association in conjunction with Dr. David Borenstein
> announces the following:
>
> Dr. David Borenstein, KA2HTV, will be traveling to Pyongyang,
> Democratic People's Republic of Korea, "North Korea" during the month
> of August. He has received written permission from the "North Korean"
> government to operate as P5/KA2HTV during his stay. While radio
> operating is not the primary reason for his visit, Dr. Borenstein
> hopes to be able to operate 1-2 hours a day and will stay
> an additional three days devoted entirely to radio operation. For
> security reasons, he will only operate SSB and primarily 20 meters.
> Dr. Borenstein will arrive on August 9th and depart on the 23rd. QSL
> requests should be sent to KK5DO. Operation from P5 is at the
> pleasure of the host country so the DX community should keep their
> collective fingers crossed that all goes well and they do not change
> their minds.
>
> The ARRL has reviewed the Dr. Borenstein's plan and if and when
> P5/KA2HTV occurs, it will likely count.
>
> Dr. Borenstein notes that while his operating time will be limited,
> the success of this operation will lead to further P5 operations in
> the near future. Much of the equipment being taken will remain there,
> pre-positioned for subsequent operations.
>
> The Lone Star DX Association (LSDXA) is the sponsoring DX
> organization for this operation.
> --Mike Thomas, NA5U
>
> INDEXA thanks the Lone Star DX Association for sponsoring Dr. Borenstein's
> P5 operation and we thank Mike, NA5U, for sharing this information with
> INDEXA and the DX community!
>
> Good luck to all!
