kh7k, kure atoll dxpedition (postponed) (*). kimo chun, kh7u, informs
the following: "gentlemen: please be advised that this dxpedition has been
postponed until sometime next year.
due to uncertainties related to transportation access to midway, our
stepping stone to get to kure, it has been decided to wait until things are
settled. it is possible that a necessary part of our travel route may become
inaccessible only a couple of weeks before our trip is to start. this is
totally beyond our control. this will stop the trip dead in its tracks
should it occur. i cannot ask the team members to arrange for the time off
work only to find out at the last minute they can't go.
the team is anxious to go. we will continue to raise funds towards this
trip which will cost more than was spent to go to kingman reef, kh5k, for
our successful k5k effort. please help in any way you can.
i will work to identify the next opportune time and reschedule the trip.
our team is welcome to go by the island manager. it will remain to
coordinate transportation and compatibility with the bird nesting season
requirements on this "no landing allowed" deserted island.
my apologies to all for the delay. i realize that this doesn't help in
our effort to give europe and others who need it all the qso's they need.
we will do all we can to fulfill that goal....."
aloha, 73 kimo chun, kh7u
