JX7VPA - Jan Mayen 2011 DXpedition

I was asked a few months ago if I would help out with some sponsorship of a DX-Pedition run by Stan SQ8X to Jan Mayen Island, I was honored and excited of the prospect of two of my antennas being used in such a major activation of this rare island. Below is a passage from their fantastic website.

Good luck lads, hope to have you in my log!

Welcome to JX7VPA - Jan Mayen 2011 ham radio DXpedition's website. We are excited that we may share more news on our DX project with you since now.

After over 1 year of preparations and changes to our itinerary, callsign and more, we are happy to announce our itinerary is set and confirmed. The journey begins on July 2, 2011, when the team gathers in Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland and then heads for Jan Mayen island on July 4. All permissions and ham radio license have already been organized at relevant authorities.

We will sail on board on Aurora - a chartered yacht of the Borea Adventures - experienced and skilled company focused on sustainable tourism in the Arctic.

The destination of Jan Mayen is not a cheap place to go. Please consider donating to our project to help to organize the DXpedition.

Please subscribe to our Facebook page,  Twitter or RSS to follow more news that are about to come.

We are all very anxious to be at the island and to pick up your callsign in pileups!
