Hi guys,

wow, the idea of a WWYC DXpedition sounds really great.
I have a suggestion for financing such an effort:

I think that in most countries the average age of active amateur radio 
operators increases dramatically. So a lot of people are thinking about 
how to make amateur radio attractive for young guys (as we are ;-)

So I am convinced that there will be a big reaction and joy if we come 
up with the idea of an WWYC DXpedition and really stress the point that 
every DXpedition member is younger than 30. I am sure that big DX 
foundation and contesting clubs will be more than happy to support such 
a DXpedition.

I could image an "godfather" financing system, e.g. every DXpedition 
member is supported by a different DX foundation or (rich and elder) 
individuals.
