[SixClub] KH5 DX-pedition

[Richard J. Fiero II W5TFW]

 QST:

>  Radio Expeditions Inc, the organizer of the record-breaking VP6DX 2008 
> DXpedition to Ducie Island, is planning a DXpedition to Jarvis Island 
> (KH5) in 2010 November.
>
>  The on-air dates of approximately Nov 17-Dec 01 (depending on weather and 
> sea conditions) were chosen to maximize propagation openings on both low 
> bands (160-80m) and high bands (12-10m long and short path) to Europe, 
> where demand for KH5 is extremely high.
>
>  Planning for this project began over one year ago.  Applications for the 
> required government permits have been submitted to the US Fish & Wildlife 
> Service.  Final approval has not yet been received.
>
>  Plans call for 24-25 operators to continuously staff 12 stations on CW, 
> SSB and RTTY on 160m through 6m.  (No 60m operations are planned).  CQ 
> WorldWide CW contest operations are included.
>
>  Sea transportation and support services will be provided by the MV 
> Braveheart and its crew, the same group who helped make the 2008 VP6DX 
> expedition a success.
>
>  No individual contributions are being solicited until the required 
> government permits have been received.
>
>  If you are interested in receiving more information about the 2010 Jarvis
