> Let me explain.

> Last October there was a DXpedition by the Kermadec DX Association
> to Chatham Island (ZL7C).  The antipode to that location is on the
> southern coast of France, making it ideal for studying long-path
> propagation as the U.K. and Western Europe are in the receiving
> zone.  I am told there are 26 UK/EU contacts in the 160 meter logs
> and I am keen to examine them for long-path contacts.
>
> I have asked Ken Holdum, ZL2HU, the leader of the DXpedition and
> the head of the Association if he could send me the logs for my
> examination.  I was denied, being told "in all DXpeditions, we do not
> release log information, to protect our integrity and honesty at all
> times."
>
> I have handled many DXpedition logs in the strictest confidence,
> those of VK0IR, XZ0A, XZ1N, 8Q7AA, VK9XY, VK9YZ, G3SXW, K5K, to name a
> few, and I am an Associate Member of the RSGB Propagation Studies
> Committee as well as well-known in the USA for my interest in propagation.
> All of that, as well as the scientific aspect, does not matter to
> ZL2HU.  So I have no other choice but to appeal to you directly and try
> to recontruct the logs by finding the 26 contacts this way.
>
> So please check your logs and see if you had a contact with ZL7C in
> October 2002.  If so, please send me the date, time and your lat/long.
>
> Please pass this request on to your friends who operate on 160 m.
>
> Many thanks for your help.
