Dear Phil B. and Members,

On behalf of the entire VK9XY Christmas Island DXpedition team, thank you
for your generous support of our mission.

Your contribution is doing far more than helping us reach one of the
world’s rarest DXCC entities. You are helping develop the next generation
of DXpedition leaders and ensuring that the spirit of amateur radio
continues to thrive for years to come.

The Pacific Islands DXpedition Group (PIDXG), in partnership with Youth on
the Air (YOTA), was founded on a simple belief: young operators should be
given real responsibility and the opportunity to lead. Because of
supporters like your club, our team is not simply participating in a
DXpedition—we are planning it, organizing it, fundraising for it, designing
our stations, developing our operating strategy, and leading a world-class
international expedition.

Your generosity also makes it possible for licensed young amateur radio
operators around the world to participate through the NexGenRiB 2 remote
operating platform. For many, this will be their very first opportunity to
experience the excitement of working a pileup, operating as the DX, and
discovering what makes DXpeditioning so special. Those experiences inspire
future expeditioners, mentors, and leaders who will carry our hobby forward .

Every donation helps fund transportation, freight, communications,
equipment, permits, safety, and educational opportunities that make this
expedition possible. Most importantly, your support demonstrates confidence
in young operators and encourages us to accept the responsibility of
leading the future of DXpeditioning.

Please accept our sincere gratitude for your partnership and your
commitment to amateur radio. We are honored to have your club standing with
us as we prepare for VK9XY, and we look forward to representing your
support from Christmas Island.

We hope you will follow our progress throughout the expedition, and we look
forward to sharing our success with you when we return.

Thank you again for believing in us and in the future of our hobby.
