[OKDXA] What DXPeditions Should We Fund?

Fri May 4 16:44:09 EDT 2018

MOUNT ATHOS COMES UP FAIRLY REGULARLY,  SO OUGHT TO BE ABLE TO CATCH THEN SOMETIME SOON. BALDUR WORKS CW, SO WILL BE ABLE TO GET THAT MODE IF HE IS ON.  SAW VK0 MCQUARI ISLAND LISTED OM FT8 A FEW DAYS AGO, UNFORTUNATELY MY COMPUTER CRASHED SO HAVE NO WAY TO WORK DIGITAL IN SHACK NOW. PICKED UP LAPTOP BUT NEED AUDIO IN AND OUT AND IT ONLY HAS USB AND VDITO HOOKUPS AND MY RIGBLASTER USES THE OLD STEREO PLUGS AND SERIAL PLUGS HI.
KEEP AN EYE ON DX BULLITINS AND YOU SHOULD CATCH NT ATHOS, NO PROBLEM.

That is great to hear!  I hope he does do CW, that would be easier to break
through the east coast wall.  I do know that Baldur (DJ6SI) did go on a
DXpedition there in the past and I think there have been some others also.
Maybe we can get Pope Francis licensed!  They would probably let him
operate from there.
