Folks,
Another Hamvention is over, and we are all back home. I
am now ready to make long expected K1B announcement
The Hamvention was the opportunity to meet people,
many of whom I've never met before. K1B team arrived
directly from Baker Isl. via Chicago and was very tired,
with lots of stories, and even more pictures and
souveniers.
I had the chance to talk to almost all K1B members that
were in Dayton, and present them concerns raised on this
and other reflectors. We tried to address each of those
concerns and turn them into win-win for everyone.
Equipment:
==========
Lots of heavy equipment was left on Fiji for future
operations. When they are going to happen depends on
your generousity relevant to donations (see below).
Lighthouse:
===========
K1B team memebrs confirmed, the lighthouse on Baker
island is authentic, and may count towards BAK-001
credit if the award managers accept the K1B cards.
Also told to Hrane to include LH reference in the
data printed on the card.
Logs:
=====
There were some concerns about on-line logs posted
early Thursday last week. Be advised that logs were
sent piece-wise, and some errors may have happened
inadvertantly. Do not panic! Send the cards for your
QSOs, since the original logs are saved, and will be
back home with the team.
K1B QSL-ing:
============
Talked to Hrane, and Roman about your concernrs relevant
to sending cards to RU, and YU. They said that 2 IRC should
work fine for the letter up to 20 gr. When sending to
Yugoslavia add Serbia & Montenegro to the address. Hrane's
address published on the KH1 web page is authentic, even a
bit short.
3D2CY QSLs:
===========
Hrane himself is taking over QSL-ing for this operation. Wait
another 2 wks, and if you do not receive the card send it
again to Hrane's address, but in a SEPARATE envelope.
Donations:
==========
Many of you asked me how to send cash (no cheques please)
donations for the expedition. I talked with Hrane and we
made the following deal:
There will be one month open window to send your cash
donations to ME (VE3EXY). From now till June 20. I'll be
collecting cash donations and hand them over to Hrane
directly. Those who send QSLs with cash donationis, will
have the priviledge to have their cards handed over as well.
Make sure to supply SA(S)E, with sufficient postage in addition
to your donation. You still need two SAEs; one for SSB and one
for all other modes if you send cards with donations.
If you provide e-mail, your donation will be confirmed via
e-mail. Use multi QSO cards as much as you can.
If you still want to contribute after June 20-th please do
so to Bill K6NDV (alias K6ND).
REMEBER, I am NOT the QSL manager for K1B DXpedition. My PO BOX
acts as drop-box for cash donations, and QSLs for donors. Hurry
up, your one month window of opportunity is ticking.
If you send the cards without donation, I'll bulk re-mail them
and it will actually be slower with greater risk, than as if
you sent them directly to relevant managers (YT1AD, and RZ3AA).
Till the next mission
