Press Release #2 By N6PSE, Paul Ewing
__________________________________________________________________ The Intrepid-DX Group, led by Paul Ewing-N6PSE and David Collingham-K3LP, is pleased to announce that we have received our Landing/Camp Permit for South Sandwich and South Georgia Islands for our January 2016 DXpeditions. South Sandwich is currently the #4 most wanted entity while South Georgia is currently the #9 most wanted entity. We will be on each island for ten days and we plan for eight full days of radio. At this time, we are seeking Foundation, Club and individual support to help us offset our significant costs to activate these two rare islands. Our vessel charter is in excess of $310,000 USD and our total budget is $425,000. Without significant support from the global DX Community we will not be successful in making these very rare activations. Our primary objective is to activate South Sandwich and South Georgia with a goal of providing as many Dxers as possible a "new one" with these rare DXCC entities and, as a secondary objective; we will focus on low-band contacts. We will use proven techniques to help ensure that everyone has a fair chance to work us. We will not be using the Club Log "Leaderboard". It is our hope that we can perform an upload to LoTW during or just after the Dxpedition.
