Hello  DXers:

Here is an announcement worthy of a SPECIAL BULLETIN, especially  in view 
of the deadline of SEPTEMBER 15th.
As we try harder to attract  youth to Amateur Radio and DXing too, we 
need to take every opportunity to  give them the chance to do something 
special. Here is a good  one...........

"Young DXpeditioners on Willis  Island
************************************

The crew of VK9DWX wants  to invite two young hams who have a passion for 
Ham Radio, DXing and  contesting to take part in the DXpedition to Willis 
Island in October this  year. One young ham from 6th October till 19th 
October and the other one  from 15th October till 28th October.

You can reside in any country in the  world, you hold a valid amateur 
radio license in your country, you have some  experience in working 
pile-ups and you are between 18 and 29.

For  qualification you have to send an email to contact at vk9dwx.de which 
must  include an essay of 500 words minimum (in English) describing how 
you got  started in ham radio, who your Elmer was and why you should be 
selected for  this DXpedition opportunity. Please include also you full 
name, callsign and  home address.

The VK9DWX crew will pay for all expenses except your  flight from your 
home to Cairns, Queensland, Australia.

Send us your  application now to contact at vk9dwx.de. We will recieve 
applications until  September 15th and will make a fast decision.

(The following was edited  for clarity)
We would be delighted if DXers would bring it to the attention  of their 
clubs and fellow DXers."

Carl,  N4AA
