Dear Brian,

I am contacting you on behalf the group of the upcoming C21MM-DXPedition 
to Nauru, OC-031. According to Clublog, Nauru is ranked #97 (CW), #67 
(SSB) and #139 (digital) in North America. Worldwide it's ranked #77 
(mixed), however #48 in SSB and #59 in CW.

Our group will stay on Nauru from October 11, 2024 to October 27, 2024 
and we'll be running 5 stations with amplifiers (K3/K4 + Expert and 
Elecraft solid-state amps) 24/7 on CW, SSB, RTTY and FT8. Given the 
current state of the solar cycle the focus will be on the high bands, 
but we'll cover the lowbands as well (160m to 6m). This time we plan to 
bring 22m spider beam masts as well as BOGs to improve low band 
performance.

We have 14 experienced DX and contest operators on board 
b'https://c21mm.mydx.de/?The_Team [1] ): Team leader is Rolf, DL7VEE who 
led several successful DXpeditions in the past. In 2022 we were active 
as P29RO (> 90K QSOs) and 2023 as T2C (> 110K QSOs). T2C received 
support from you guys! Thank you for that!

All QSLs will be uploaded to LoTW. We offer preferred LoTW service for 
members of supporting organizations.

Each operators covers his own costs of roughly 6,000 US-$. Nevertheless, 
additional costs of roughly 6,000 to 8,000 US-$ will occur (overweight 
charges, additional shipping, operating room, additional coax cables, 
power consumption etc.).

We would therefore kindly ask, if the National Capitol DX Association is 
willing to sponsor our DXpedition.

Many thanks in advance for your consideration.

73

Christian, DL6KAC
