Club - here is some info I received regarding an upcoming DXpedition to the
new Southern Sudan DXCC country:
--------------------------------------------------
Dear Amateur Radio Club or Association Leader:
On behalf of the Intrepid-DX Group, I'm writing today to tell you about our
next DXpedition in partnership with the DX Friends/Tifariti Gang to the
newly created country of the Republic of Southern Sudan.
This is a new entity and every amateur DXer will need it!
We hope to make 100,000 contacts over fourteen full days of operation, on
each amateur band and mode.
Southern Sudan is being created through a referendum that was passed in
January, 2011. The Government of Southern Sudan will declare its
independence on July 9th, 2011. The ARRL will recognize this new country
once they obtain UN admission, which may take place as early as July 14th,
2011. We have had several meetings with this new Government and we have
obtained a valid license for this DXpedition.
We expect to be active in late July, 2011.
We would love to have your support and to place your club logo on our Web
page.
A minimum donation of $100 will accomplish that. If for some reason the
DXpedition is cancelled, all donations will be promptly refunded.
Thank you,
Paul S. Ewing-N6PSE <Ewing-N6PSEpaul at n6pse.comCo-Leader>
