The DX Friends and the Intrepid-DX Group continue to monitor the UN General
Assembly and Security Council votes and are moving forward with our plans
for a large multi-national DXpedition to take place soon after the UN
admission occurs.
Equipment has been procured and is being staged for rapid delivery to Juba,
the new capital of Southern Sudan. Team members have applied for their
visas and we are awaiting them now.
We have held several successful meetings with representatives of the
Government of Southern Sudan. We have been issued an amateur radio license
for the purpose of this DXpedition. The Government of South Sudan is very
supportive of our plans to visit Juba and to help them celebrate the birth
of their new country.
We plan to soon be in the new capital of Juba and to be ready to start our
DXpedition after admission by the UN. We will have 18 operators operating
24/7 on seven active stations.
At this time, we are seeking Foundation, Club and Individual Sponsors to
help us defray the costs of carrying out this very important DXpedition.
