The P29 DXpedition to two rare IOTA's and activating P2 on 160 has an
opening. K6HFA, Hugh, has canceled because of some unfortunate
circumstances. Hugh is graciously leaving his $3000 (AUD) in the boat
charter fund. Who would like to replace Hugh? For $2067 (AUD) or
$1730 (USD) plus your own air fare (~$3000 USD), you can be a member
the team. Anyone interested can contact G3KHZ, Derek, at
G3KHZ@derekcox.plus.com or W5GAI, Skip, at W5GAI@arrl.net.
