aid in recruiting additional Kosovar youth and to activate the existing

been decided to do an immediate LoTW and fast direct QSL service for those
who contribute USD 20.00 or more. This option would not delay any of the
traditional QSL options, but just put a priority on those who are willing to
help Kosovo Amateur Radio finally move beyond the past ten difficult years'.

planning support from Lance W7GJ, and the 6 meter community, we hope to make
the first ever 6m EME QSOs from Ducie Island'.
While they are 'working with several amateur radio equipment manufacturers
and suppliers who indicated interest in supporting VP6D', the logistics plan
is coming together. 'Our equipment will be consolidated in Fremont,
California for testing, packaging and shipment to the Braveheart in New
Zealand. The team has a group reservation for our flight transportation from
Papeete to Mangareva and back. Braveheart will pick us up in Mangareva and
return us there at the end of the expedition'. Detailed antenna plans 'are
coming together nicely with 2-element vertical dipole arrays on the high
bands backed up by a couple of horizontal beams, 4-squares on 30/40 meters
and verticals on 80/160 meters. The 160 receiving antenna plans are under
development'. The fundraising campaign continues - see http://vp6d.com/ for
