Dear Rich-WC6H and Shirley-AA6K.
 
It was a pleasure to speak at your combined MLDXC/NCCC meeting this past summer and to tell you about all the fun we had as YI9PSE.
　
On behalf of the Intrepid-DX Group, I’m writing to tell you our next DXpedition to Afghanistan as T6PSE in May of 2011. 
　
We hope to make 75,000 contacts over ten full days of operation. Due to security concerns, our exact in-country dates and location are secret at this time. 

We would be very grateful to your organization for your support. I've included some information below about our plans. 
　
Thank you,
