After a lot of boat loading, box packing, rope tying, and nautical things the words for which escape me at the moment, the K7C expedition is ready to sail on the ebb tide this afternoon! The weather has been a bit stormy in the evenings, but through the day it is the blissful KH6 blue sky and sun you might imagine. We anticipate a following sea on our 1300-mile cruise out past the pinnacles, seamounts, and islands of the Hawaiian chain. We would like to extend our special thanks to Kimo KH6U and Pat NH7UY as our exceptional local hosts and organizers. Also, we would like to thank the numerous Honolulu hams that have lent a hand in hosting, hauling, and hosanna-ing the team. Without these folks in the background, the expedition would be far more difficult, costly, and risky. Thanks to all of you and also for sending us off in such fine style at dinner last night. The team would also like to extend condolences to the family of Hugh Cassidy WA6AUD. Cass' contributions to DXing are legendary and inspirational to many of us over the years. His grand "DX Is!", while possibly not original, was so strongly communicated and resonates so deeply within the DX community in capturing the essence of why we pursue these dreams and goals. For information about the team's whereabouts and schedule, stay tuned to the K7C Web site's DXA application in the "Messages" section. We will also attempt to be QRV from the Machias, most likely on 20- meters, as K7C/MM. It will be fun to touch base with you from the Pacific as we wend our way slowly towards the setting sun. >From all of us on the K7C team - Aloha and Mahalo (thanks) for your >support and encouragement. See you in the pileups! 73, Ward N0AX ---------------------------------------------------------- Archives http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] THE DXR is sponsored by the North Jersey DX Association.
