FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE-Malpelo DXpedition 2012 August 5, 2011
Contact: bob at k4uee.com

The Malpelo 2012 DXpedition is pleased to announce that the HK0NA
operating team is now complete with 16 operators. This is an
international team of excellent operators, representing 8 different
countries, and includes 3 members of the CQ DX Hall of Fame.


The team will depart from Buenaventura, Colombia on January 22, 2012 for
the 235 mile trip to Malpelo. Depending on sea and landing conditions, 
we expect to be QRV within 36 hours after landing for about 10-12 days.
The team will return to Buenaventura on Feb. 6, 2012

Operations are planned on 160 through 6 meters on CW, SSB and Digital
modes.

We wish to thank Elecraft for the loan of seven K3 transceivers and five
of the new KPA 500 amplifiers. RF Concepts (Alpha) has agreed to loan
the team three Alpha 8410 amplifiers for use on the low bands and DX
Engineering will supply most of the DXpedition antennas.

Thanks to N2OO and the SJDXA who have graciously agreed to handle QSL
duties.  You may recall the expert job they did for 3Y0X and K5D
recently.

Contributions are being sought from DX Foundations, DX Clubs and
individual DXers.  Your financial assistance is kindly requested.  You
may contribute directly to DXARC (Colombia) or to K4UEE (North America),
DJ9ZB (Europe), or JA1ELY ( Asia/JA). See our website: www.hk0na.com for
further details on how you can help.

We plan periodic press releases with information of interest.  Also,
watch the website for breaking news.

Thanks,
Jorge Prieto, HK1R
DXpedition leader
