[NCDXA] St Helena Island DXpedition Proposal

[M Cresap]

 I did a quick pricing exercise on trip insurance for one person - $10,000 actual cost of trip, insurance is about $1,500. Includes $75,000 of emergency medical, and $1,000,000 of emergency transportation. There are many companies offering similar insurance, some likely better than others. Plus, if you have Medigap Plans C, D, F, or G, some foreign emergency medical is also included.

 Have the plan details been made available? The requests made would be better evaluated with more detail made available to ‘us’ as evaluators. I can be comfortable with our own officials bearing the responsibility for decisions, but as an individual member I don’t feel confident about my personal ability to judge. Terry’s question raises my ‘interest.’  Vic W4VIC

Phil,
Is the $225,000 fee for medical insurance and evacuation even reasonable? I'm missing something. Please help.

Subject: [NCDXA] St Helena Island DXpedition Proposal

To all members,   Art Blank  Wa7 B has prepared a preliminary document which presents a top level description of the proposed Dxpedition in Feb-Mar 2025 time frame. The NCDXA Directors have had a couple of discussions with Art, and we would like to have the NCDXA community answer the following two questions
1) Should NCDXA take the lead and sponsor, provide detailed support in the planning and execution of this endeavor.? This will require commitments of time and energy on the part of our membership. - Each and every one of us This is  a large undertaking but a very do-able DXpedition- there is no landing on rocky shorelines, setting up on glaciers, etc. It is a more genteel endeavor similar to the one that I took part in on Montserrat in 2015. 
2) The second question is who is ready to step forward and become part of the Dxpedition team.? Right now we are looking to keep this within the NCDXA community since our emphasis is on DXing and not on contestoing. 
I would request that the secretary setup a Zoom meeting in early August with the entire NCDXA membership, to get feedback on both of these questions.
I thank you ahead of time for your personal evaluation of this proposal.
Best 73, Happy  and a safe 4th to all, and Best DX to all
Phil Barsky , Lead Director for Ed Kuebert and Howard Sherer Directors NCDXA-C. _______________________________________________
