DX SPECIAL: NCDXF CONTRIBUTES $15000 TO HK0NA OPERATION

The Northern California DX Foundation has made a $15,000 (dollar) contribution to the HK0NA Malpelo Island DXpedition which is scheduled take place from January 21st to February 5th or 6th.

According to team co-leader Bob Allphin, K4UEE, an advance team of four members departed on Christmas day with nearly 4 tons of gear to transport to the island. They will establish two camps and set up antennas and stations which should be ready when the main team arrives January 21st.

Allphin says that no expedition has ever operated from the top of the island before. Because of this western North America, Asia and Oceana have a much higher need for it.

For the past 40 years the Northern California DX Foundation has funded major DXpeditions to many of the worlds most wanted entities. Malpelo was rated as number 12 on the DX Magazine's Most Wanted List for 2011. More about this massive DX operation is on-line at HK0NA dot com.

The Northern California DX Foundation has also sent a $500 Christmas gift to the Radio Amateur Society of Thailand's HS0AC Club This to help rebuild and re-equip the HS0AC station that was destroyed by recent flooding.

We will have more DX related news later on in this weeks Amateur Radio Newsline report. (NCDXF, W0GJ)
