"Dear Reader,
It is with much pleasure that I make the first announcement of the forthcoming
IOTA expedition to the ×sle de Sein EU-068 for the IOTA contest in 2001. This
island is in CQ Zone 14, ITU Zone 27, Lat. 48ø02'N, Long. 04ø51'W., Locator
IN78NA, DIFM AT-007 & DDFM 29.
This expedition group, known as " The Minkies Boys" will be under the co-
ordination of Wilfried ON4AVA.
The Minkies Boys team will be announced in the first update.
Many members of the team were on our previous expeditions in 1997 to EU-099 The
Minkies Reef (Plateau des Minquiers), 1998 EU-114 Guernsey, in 1999 EU-065
Ouessant and last year to the very same ×le de Sein.
Every year we gained knowledge skill and experience, and were placed 7th world-
wide of the Island participants in 1999. We expect to have done better in 2000 &
we aim to further improve our achievements this year.
We already know from previous years that auto-financing an expedition is an
onerous matter, and in fact is dependant upon some outside help in the form of
Sponsoring, either financially, or by the loan of specialist equipment.
We give credit (publicity) to all sponsors by mention of their name, or
inclusion of their Company Logo on our four-sided full colour QSL card sent for
all contacts made. If you would like to help us, and obtain some publicity
worldwide as well as locally, please get in touch with me.
Please feel free to include information about our plans in your publications.
I will periodically advise you of further information such as callsigns to be
used in the contest and outside the contest.
