  Mount Athos - Monk Apollo Project - update

Brad Nowak, N8SNM, Southeast Michigan DX Association's (SEMDXA) Treasurer, would like to clarify their position on donations to the Monk Apollo Project. 

The SEMDXA will not be accepting any donations for the "Monk Apollo Project" due to the sensitive nature of 'collecting' funds for the Monk, as this is not allowed. 

SEMDXA has donated the MFJ keyer to the Monastery but not to Monk Apollo himself.

Rick, NE8Z, was not able to operate from Mt Athos but planned to spend time training Monk Apollo in using the keyer/reader to better improve chances for many deserving DXer's to work SV/A on CW.

Mount Athos - the Monk Apollo Project

Rick, NE8Z, has obtained a pilgrim visa for Mount Athos and wants to visit Monk Apollo, SV2ASP/A, from Apr 9-16. 

Rick calls his trip the 'Monk Apollo Project'. He wants to donate some equipment which helps to improve the portable stations with the intention to produce better signals in Asia. 

This direction is affected negatively by a mountain range.
 
It is not known if Rick is allowed to become active himself.
