 Dear friend,
                        My name is Fabrizio Vallefuoco, IW3SQY. I'm writing
you on behalf of a team of operators who have organized a DXpedition
starting in November 2013 to Robinson Crusoe Island, which is part of the
Juan Fernandez Archipelago (CE0Z), in the south Pacific Ocean.

Logistical/Organizational tasks are already in advanced stages. We have
obtained authorization from local Chilean authorities, and have been issued
the call sign XR0ZR.

This letter is to kindly request your consideration to participate as a
funds contributor to our DXpedition. As you know, such an activity has
better chances to meet the expectations of the amateur radio community if
the stations to be set-up and used during the event includes top notch
equipment.
This includes all boarding and transportation fees of freight which in part,
is why fundraising is such a crucial element.

So, allow me to briefly tell you why we've selected our destination, who is
participating on our team, and how we plan to make this a world class event.

Let's start with what the world amateur radio need is for Juan Fernandez
(CE0Z), and what its current placement is on the various worlds DXCC most
wanted lists.
CE0Z currently ranks #43 in the 2013 world-wide results of "The DX
Magazine", and #35 in the Clublog world-wide results as of April 2013 for an
all needed entity.
Juan Fernandez Archipelago's last big activation occurred in 2000, when
CE0ZY activated this needed entity. They did a very good job. Since that
DXpedition, other smaller expeditions have taken place, but not enough QSO's
logged to lessen the need for this entity.
So, whoever became a DXer post 2000, (and a whole generation of amateurs
fits into this category) is literally hungry to work CE0Z. A hunger we look
to satisfy.

The team will be composed of seven members, all seasoned DXpeditioneers, and
friends.
The team consists of: Fabri-IW3SQY (Team Leader), Franco-IZ8GCE,
Paolo-IV3DSH, Josep-EA3AKY, Les-SP3DOI, Dino-CE3PG, and Art-WA7NB
As for our experience in performing top quality DXpeditions, the core of our
team during last summer (2012), gave life to D64K.
With great expectation we have added a couple "new entries" to our group
with a history in the contesting and dxing domain.

Finally, a little about the set-up we've studied for XR0ZR. We plan to bring
on the island: 2 Spiderbeams operating on 5 bands, Phased Vertical systems
for both 30 and 40 meters, an 80/160 Vertical, along with some Beverages,
and a multiband vertical used for 40-10 meters.
Transceivers to include: two K3 and two K2 Elcraft, and an ICOM IC7000. The
shack will be completed by two Elcraft KPA500 amplifiers, and two other 500
watts amplifier.

We will be also qrv on 6 meters. We expect to work many stations with F2
layer and TEP. We expect also some E's links with F2 to get into Oceania and
Africa, as well as SA. For all other, we will be qrv on EME with 1kw and 8
elements antenna (6M8GJ).

I think you now have enough to judge how serious and ambitious our
undertaking this project will be, and how much it needs and deserves your
support.

These, in my humble opinion, are the major points for your consideration.
Investing in our DXpedition can prove to be a winning choice, which will
reflect positively on yourself, and the world amateur radio community.

We'll be extremely grateful for your contribution. You can donate via
Paypal, or contact me directly.
If you have any questions, requests, or concerns, you are invited to email
me at any time.

Thank you in advance for your commitment to our DXpedition. I look forward
to hearing from you.
