  Bom dia Ed.

  Trabalhei em fevereiro deste ano, pela primeira vez, Cocos (Keeling) Island, em 40 Metros/CW (eis aí minha Zona 29!). 

  Foi um all time new one, e justamente o grupo do Phil, que lá esteve com o Indicativo VK9C/G6AY.

  Repare que eles só fazem CW. Mais um motivo para aqueles que estão em dúvida se devem ou não aprender CW, esta maravilhosa forma de comunicação.

  Esta semana mandarei minha colaboração para você repassar ao grupo. 

  Forte 73 de PP1CZ - Léo.

  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.

Please do not send cheques in any currency other than Sterling or bank notes in other than Sterling or US $.  If necessary, I can provide you with bank account or Paypal details to facilitate electronic transfers.
