Subject: IOTA DXPEDITION
PRESS RELEASE 12 AUG 1999
Just some news that has come too hand over the last week or so
Peter ( VK8PDG ) and I are too be joined by HA1AG Zoli , VK2NNN Allan .
So far all is on track and on schedule , Nov 99 both Islands OC-173 and
Croker Island will be Active for 6 days each on SSB , CW , RITTY , SSTV , I
am hoping to have 4 HF stations active , 2 will be 24hr and will hopefully
be online with a chat line open for Amateurs around the would to speak to
the Children on Both Islands , Please if you can help in anyway please
visit Our Website at , www.rustman.com/IOTA/ and send me some Feedback ,
Every little bit will help Us complete this very worthwhile project , Not
just for the DX but for the Children on Both Islands
** I am really after a couple of Schools around the
world so that we can have Children from Remote NT Islands talk to Children
from around the world , I am sure there is Amateur Radio Stations at
Schools around the world , Do you know of 1 , If so , please help the
Children on both Islands talk,listen and learn about Amateur Radio , I bet
at the end of the Day you will feel good about doing something like this
for Children , Thankyou **
Some People have sent me Emails about why am I doing this , Will I Enjoy it
, Ever since I went to Melville Island in March 1996 ( VK8MI ) I have
always wanted to do it again for the Children , I then Decided why not do
Croker Island , *NEW 1* as well , I am not out too make Money or Glory for
myself , I am doing this for the Children on Both Islands..
HA1AG,VK9NS,VK2NNN,VK8PDG and myself will put on the best Amateur Radio
Display for the Children that we can possibly do .. We will also Enjoy the
Dxing , I think it comes down to what my XYL said too me the other night
" You Amateur's are mad , Going to Islands in the middle of now where for a
Holiday " Hi Hi , yes some of us are .. ..
Thankyou for Reading this
Press Release , please pass on to who ever you wish ..
73,s De Stuie VK8NSB
