Prezados Amigos !

Foi com grande alegria que recebí na sexta-feira , do amigo Phil - G3SWH ( nos conhecemos a mais de 20 anos ) , e que é um dos maiores Expedition-Man de nosso hobby , a informação de sua próxima Expedição ( ver e-mail abaixo ).

Estou disponibilizando nas listas , essa informação para os interessados.

Aproveitem e visitem o site http://www.g3swh.org.uk/vk9c-g6ay.html e assim fiquem por dentro dessa " raríssima " Expedition que irá acontecer no próximo ano a Cocos Keeling Islands - VK9C ( Zone 29 ) , no mês de fevereiro e que o CWJF GROUP está apoiando , sendo até o momento , o único Grupo da América do Sul que está colaborando para o sucesso da expedição , somando-se a outros importantes e famosos Grupos Internacionais , a saber : 

NCDXF / EUDXF / GDXF / GMDX 

Será uma " chance de ouro "  para os brasileiros trabalharem a tão difícil e cobiçada " ZONA 29 ".

Mesmo voce não sendo membro do CWJF , se desejar " contribuir " ( pode ser com qualquer valor e desde já agradecemos antecipadamente ) para ajudar nos custos da expedição , o CWJF GROUP , receberá com muita alegria e no dia 10 de Dezembro , conforme e-mail já enviado ao Phil , estaremos enviando o total arrecado.

Phil - G3SWH !

The CWJF GROUP will initially contribute, with US$100, we will send at the beginning of December. 

We will send an email to our members to make a call to see if we can raise more contributions to your DX-Expedition for Cocos Keeling Islands - VK9C.

In case our call is answered by any of our members, we will send a larger value. 

I take the opportunity of e-mail, asking the friend, to divulgue the Web Page CWJF GROUP www.powerline.com.br/cwjf  in your country, along with Radioamateurs ,  Clubs, Groups and Magazines.
