[WWYC] WWYC DX'expedition

[Fabian Kurz]

Hello group,

I think it's a very good idea to organize a contest DXpedition and I am sure we
can get together a *very* competitive team. However there is lot of stuff to
plan (Where to go, When (-> Which contest?) etc..).
I guess for most of us (who are still students), the summer is the most
convenient time to go, however there are not too many big contests (IOTA, IARU
and WAE)... On the other hand, for example in IOTA Contest you can have a lot of
fun being on a semi-rare island only (which certainly would reduce the costs for
transportation and accomodation etc.)...

I see, there are a lot of points to discuss, guess the list is going to be very
busy now...

Jeff, did you rob a bank or so? ;)
