Subject: [Cq-l] CQ News: Peter I DXpedition Delayed

>From the CQ Newsroom (courtesy NJDXA):

The following notice has been posted on the official website of the 3Y0X 
DXpedition to Peter I Island:

Date: January 13, 2005
>From Team co-leaders:
Ralph Fedor, KØIR and Bob Allphin, K4UEE

DXpedition delayed 
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

There will be at least a two and one-half to three-week delay in the planned 
3YØX DXpedition.  Problems have arisen with completing the renovation and re-
registration of the ship on schedule.

We currently have one team member in Chile gathering information.  On Jan. 17 
a second team member will arrive.  The two of them will travel to the 
shipyard and personally inspect the vessel.  We will know more after this 
meeting and will update you at that time.

Our entire team remains intact.  We are all eager to be underway.

This is a huge undertaking and very, very expensive.  The team members are 
funding 74% of the total cost and need your help with the remaining 
expenses.  Your contribution will be very much appreciated.  Send 
contributions to either: K4UEE, F2JD, JA1ELY or ZL2AL (check the website for 
an easy-to-use donation form).

------------------
>From CQ: The group was supposed to be leaving for the island today for a 5-6 
day trip, and operate through early February. Co-Leader Bob Allphin, K4UEE, 
was featured on the cover of the January issue of CQ, pointing to the 
location of Peter I on a map of Antarctica. 

Speaking of the January issue of CQ, we have encountered significant delivery 
delays on this issue, for a variety of reasons beyond our control. We believe 
just about everyone should have their copy by now. If you are a current CQ 
subscriber and your January issue has not yet arrived, please call our office 
for a replacement copy. We apologize to all for the inconvenience.
