HK0, MALPELO ISLAND (NCDXF Press Release). [dates Jan. 1st - edited]
The Northern California DX Foundation is pleased to announce a contri-
bution of 15,000 USDs to the HK0NA Malpelo DXpedition which will take
place from January 21st to February 5-6th, 2012. Malpelo is #12 on the
DX Magazine's Most Wanted List for 2011.
Team co-leader Bob Allphin, K4UEE, states that, "Malpelo is probably
the most physically challenging DXpedition I have ever participated in.
An advance team of four (HK1MW, HK1N, HK1T & HK6F) left Christmas day
with nearly 4 tons of gear to transport to the island. They will establish
two camps, one at the 300 foot level and another at near the top at the
800 foot level and set up antennas and stations which should be ready
when the main team arrives January 21st. Without major financial support
from NCDXF, DXpeditions like this to challenging or rare locations would
not be possible." No one has ever operated from the top of the island
before, hence the western North America and Asia/Oceana have a much
higher need for Malpelo. See http://hk0na.com
For the past 40 years the NCDXF has funded major DXpeditions to many
Most Wanted Entities. The credit for these large grants goes to the
NCDXF contributors who make DX like this possible. Have you contributed

73 es Happy New Year!

NCDXF Vice President
