MALPELO 2012

Three members of the HK0NA team have just completed a seven day reconnaissance visit to the island. This will be a very demanding DXpedition for several reasons - read the summary of their observations and view some very revealing pictures on www.hk0na.com. K4UEE, N4GRN and W6IZT will travel to Colombia on 5-8 November for a planning meeting with team leader, Jorge HK1R and other team members. With the information gained on the recent reconnaissance visit, decisions can be finalized concerning camp/operating sites, antenna types and placement, safety measures and other critical decisions necessary to the ultimate success for the DXpedition. One critical decision to be made concerns the duration of the operation, as they have permission to stay on site for 17 days versus the 14 days now planned. They will be reviewing the DXpedition budget to determine if they can afford the extra $15,000 expense for three additional days.
