The Intrepid DX Group’s *VP8SGI/VP8STI* team is pleased to announce our 
“Early Donor” program for donations prior to departure to the Islands.

For all donations of $25 or more, we will perform an early LoTW upload 
and we will include all $25 donors in the first batch of QSL processing. 
We will have more news on this feature soon!

We are extremely pleased that *DX Engineering* has become a major 
equipment sponsor for this Dxpedition. This saves the team considerable 
funds that can be used elsewhere to improve the quality and performance 
of the Dxpedition team. “DX Engineering has always supported us but on 
this effort they have really stepped up in a big way-this is a real shot 
in the arm for our team and enables us to perform at higher levels” said 
Team Co-Leader David Collingham-K3LP.

We are delighted to report that our QSL Cards are being sponsored and 
printed by Tony-LZ1JZ. LZ1JZ Print Service has an outstanding reputation 
for printing the finest QSL cards and we are very grateful to have this 
sponsorship.

Our plans are moving forward in all aspects including our team’s first 
$54,000 installment being paid to the Braveheart.

To date, we have raised $95,000 towards our goal of raising $215,000. 
This puts us 44% of our target. We would welcome additional support from 
the many DX Clubs around the globe, particularly those in Europe and 
Asia who have not yet supported our efforts.

We are seeking a Sponsor for our Inmarsat-BGAN Internet terminal lease 
and satellite time. “It will cost us $1200 to lease the BGAN terminal 
and another $500 is projected for satellite air time” Said Dxpedition 
Co-Leader Paul Ewing-N6PSE. The BGAN terminal is essential for us to 
upload our logs to Clublog on a daily basis. We would welcome a 
corporate, club or individual sponsor of our Clublog upload capability.

At the time of our activations, South Sandwich will be the #3 most 
wanted entity, while South Georgia will be the #7 most wanted DXCC entity.

All information about our plans can be found on our website:

Lastly, many of the VP8STI/VP8SGI Team members will be attending the 
2015 International DX Convention in Visalia this weekend. If you’ll be 
in Visalia, please visit us at our Dxpedition Tent inside the Convention 
Center and say hello.

Thank you,

Paul N6PSE

The Intrepid-DX Group VP8 Team
