<H1><FONT face=Verdana size=2>Caros colegas,</FONT></H1>
<H1><FONT face=Verdana size=2>Desde á algum tempo que os especialistas nesta
área, vinham alertando, que esta será certamente uma
das maiores Dxpedição que marcará o ano de 2008; não só pelos seus
participantes como pelos meios postos á sua disposição. Como se pode ver,
isto já tem muito pouco de Amador e cada vez mais de altamente Profissional,
alias, os custos envolvidos, dariam quiçá para qualquer média agencia de
viagens portuguesa, quase duplicar a sua facturação.</FONT></H1>

<H1>Clipperton DXpedition 'live' on the web</H1>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>It’s a DXpedition that you will be able to take part in,
at least vicariously. This with news that the upcoming TX5C DXpedition expects
to be active from Clipperton Island March 7th to March 17th, has arranged to
bring much of its operation into your shack over the World Wide Web.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>Thanks to the generous sponsorship of satellite phone
dealer Outfitter Satellite Inc, the TX5C operation will be able to provide
DX'ers with rich, high-bandwidth content from the DXpedition including more
online log updates, webcams and live video from Clipperton Atoll. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>Bob Grimmick, N6OX, will lead the international team to
Clipperton. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>The major sponsors include Icom America, SteppIR antennas,
Alpha Radio Products, the Northern California DX Foundation, and the
International DX Association. Operation will be on all the high frequency bands
using C-W, SSB and RTTY plus 6 meter CW and SSB. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>This happens to be the 30th anniversary of the 1978
FO0XA-XH operation from the atoll and the goal in 2008 is to hold 100,000 or
QSO's worldwide. </FONT></P>
