PRESS RELEASE

April 25, 2007 The 2007 Dxpedition to Scarborough Reef is pleased to 
announce they have departed on their ship for Scarborough Reef at 06:00 
UTC 25 April. The trip is approximately 60 hours and upon arrival they 
will immediately build their stations and erect antennas. This is the 
culmination of 5 years of planning and preparation. The International 
Team led by W6RGG includes 9V1YC, BA1HAM, BA1RB, BA4RF, BA4RC, BA7NQ, 
BV6HJ, DU1EV, DU1BA, ND2T,AA4NN, K4UJ,N6MZ,K9AJ, OH2BH, I8NHJ, and 
DL3MBG. They are backed up by a support staff including N4XP, N1DG, 
K5YY, BV4FH and DU1JMG to insure that they are safe and informed of 
events happening off island. We wish to thank the Chinese Sport Radio 
Association, the Philippine Amateur Radio Association, the American 
Radio Relay League, NCDXF and INDEXA who were instrumental in their 
support. Scarborough Reef has unique and dangerous attributes and as 
such we will not have online logs or pilots. All efforts are on keeping 
our team safe so they can provide a new one to as many hams as possible. 
Good luck in the pileups, N4XP and N1DG for the 2007 Scarborough Reef 
Expedition.
