<div dir="auto">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 </div>

<div dir="ltr">
<div style="font-family: georgia,serif; font-size: small;">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</div>
<div style="font-family: georgia,serif; font-size: small;"> </div>
<div style="font-family: georgia,serif; font-size: small;">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. </div>
<div style="font-family: georgia,serif; font-size: small;"> </div>
<div style="font-family: georgia,serif; font-size: small;">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. </div>
<div style="font-family: georgia,serif; font-size: small;"> </div>
<div style="font-family: georgia,serif; font-size: small;">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.</div>
<div style="font-family: georgia,serif; font-size: small;"> </div>
<div style="font-family: georgia,serif; font-size: small;">I thank you ahead of time for your personal evaluation of this proposal.</div>
<div style="font-family: georgia,serif; font-size: small;"> </div>
<div style="font-family: georgia,serif; font-size: small;">Best 73, Happy and a safe 4th to all, and Best DX to all</div>
<div style="font-family: georgia,serif; font-size: small;"> </div>
<div style="font-family: georgia,serif; font-size: small;">Phil Barsky , Lead Director for Ed Kuebert and Howard Sherer Directors NCDXA-C. </div>
