[OKDXA] What DXPeditions Should We Fund?

[w5le at beggstelco.net]

John,
With Mt. Athos being a religious enclave like it is, the likelihood of a
DXpedition there is almost non-existent.  However, this may brighten your
day.  Besides SV2ASP/A, Monk Apollo, there is a new ham on Mt. Athos,
Monk Iakovos, SV2RSG.  He has only been licensed since 2015 but if you
ever see that call spotted, he's not your run of the mill SV call.
