The importance of sponsorship to a DXpedition

When people think of DX'Peditions, they think of operators sat under
palm trees on exotic islands with the world of amateur radio
enthusiasts trying to talk to them.

While this is where every DX'Pedition tries to get to, there is a LOT
of work that has to happen before this is possible!

Months or even years before, the event planning starts and permits are
requested, equipment assembled and transport both of equipment and
operators arranged. Accommodation organised and all red-tape worked
through. All of this requires a lot of work from the organisers and
also requires finance in the form of contributions from those taking
part in the event and from sponsors. Without sponsors no DX'Pedition
can take place and the ZL9HR DX'Pedition to Campbell Island on
November 28th. to December 9th. this year is no exception.

This DX'Pedition is rightly being billed as one of the most important
DX'Peditions in 2012 and the HARAOA is very happy to announce that
many of the sponsors that supported earlier DX'Peditions are helping
again with ZL9HR. It is hoped that there will be additional sponsors
“signing up” over the next few weeks, but we would like to thank those
who have already committed to support the Dx'Pedition.

These are as follows (in alphabetical order);

Commercial sponsors:
RF Solutions
Spiderbeam

Club & Organisations;
British Colombia & Northwest Washington – ORCA DX & Contest club
Danish DX Group
German DX Foundation.
Lone Star DX Association.
Long Island DX Association.
Mediterraneo DX Club.
Northern Illinois DX Association.

There are also currently 24 individuals who are sponsoring the event.

For the complete up-to-date list please refer to the ZL9HR.COM website.

The survey on the website is also getting a good response with keen
DX-ers who are looking to get ZL9 on a particular band and mode to
move towards a DXCC or other award voting for their preferences.
Please don't miss out if you haven't already placed your vote please
do so.
