[NCDXA] St Helena Island DXpedition Proposal

[Phillip Barsky]

Vic,  I am looking for a thumbs up or down concerning general approval from
the membership to move ahead with a small exploratory committee to flesh
out the details. This would include timelines, costs with backup quotes,
and expected cash flow from the QSLing operations.

In addition, I am asking who might be interested in going and I would
expect those folks to comprise the exploratory committee along with Art, of
course.

Keep those cards and letters coming in on this subject

Thank you

Phil K3EW  Happy 4th
