VP8SGI/VP8STI DXpedition news

The Intrepid DX Group's VP8SGI/VP8STI team is pleased to announce our
operating strategy which will allow us to work as many unique callers as
possible during each of these activations.

During our voyage to South Sandwich, which is the first island that we will
activate, we will use our newly donated BGAN terminal to access solar data.
We will also check in with our US, EU and JA Pilots to determine which
bands are currently propagating well. We will then select a band; possibly
20, 17 or 15 meters and we will be QRV with one station on this band for
the duration of the Dxpedition. This will give everyone a chance to work us
at least once on the selected band.

In addition, during our final 24 hours of QRV from each island, we will
announce and only accept contacts from new-first time stations on this
selected band. Those chasing band slots can work us 10-160 meters on the
other bands; however we feel that it is of critical importance that our
primary strategy includes a means for everyone to make at least one contact
with these rare islands.

We are pleased to announce our 'Early Donor' program for donations prior to
departure to the Islands.

For all donations of $25 or more, we will perform an early LoTW upload and
we will include all $25 or more donors in the first batch of QSL
processing. Our OQRS will be live during the Dxpedition. Direct QSL cards
and bureau QSL cards will be processed last.

Our plans are moving forward in all aspects. We are about to make our
second installment of $113,000 to the Braveheart. The Dxpedition Team has
committed to paying half the costs of this Dxpedition and our Team's
contribution is $210,000.

To date, we have raised $105,000 towards our goal of raising $215,000. This
puts us at 47% of our target. We would welcome additional support from the
many DX Clubs around the globe.

At the time of our activations, South Sandwich will be the #3 most wanted
entity, while South Georgia will be the #7 most wanted DXCC entity.
