Hello,

Just a few days to go and most of the team members will start to travel to
American Samoa. Wednesday September 27, the team members will meet in
Hawaii and the day after we fly to American Samoa. We will stay a few days
on Pago Pago and next we board the ship for the last part of our trip, the
final destination; Swains Island.

During our stay on Pago Pago we still have to arrange a lot of things, like
arranging the return transportation of our equipment, final configuration
and testing of the laptops and radio’s, buying some aluminum masts and
personal stuff. If we have some time left, we might operate a few hours
KH8/.

Today our 6 boxes with materials and equipment that were transferred from
the Netherlands 3 weeks ago, have arrived in Pago Pago. They have to be
cleared by customs and then they will be brought to Alex Jennings, our
partner for this DXpedition. As planned we will arrive October 4th on
Swains Island.

If everything works fine we will have life video streaming from Swains. But
our main focus is making QSO’s and give many of you a new DXCC or at least
some band points.

Logs will be uploaded daily to our QSL manager M0OXO, who will also update
Clublog.

The link to our life video stream channel will be announced later on our
website, Twitter and Facebook.

Looking forward to get you in the W8S log.
