I'm writing you on behalf of a team of operators who have organized a DXpedition starting in November 2013 to Robinson Crusoe Island, which is part of the Juan Fernandez Archipelago (CE0Z), in the south Pacific Ocean.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p><span lang=IT style='font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>Logistical/Organizational tasks are already in advanced stages. We have obtained authorization from local Chilean authorities, and have been issued the call sign XR0ZR.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p><span lang=IT style='font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>This letter is to kindly request your consideration to participate as a funds contributor to our DXpedition. As you know, such an activity has better chances to meet the expectations of the amateur radio community if the stations to be set-up and used during the event includes top notch equipment.<br>This includes all boarding and transportation fees of freight which in part, is why fundraising is such a crucial element.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p><span lang=IT style='font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>So, allow me to briefly tell you why we’ve selected our destination, who is participating on our team, and how we plan to make this a world class event.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p><span lang=IT style='font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>Let's start with what the world amateur radio need is for Juan Fernandez (CE0Z), and what its current placement is on the various worlds DXCC most wanted lists.<br>CE0Z currently ranks #43 in the 2013 world-wide results of “The DX Magazine”, and #35 in the Clublog world-wide results as of April 2013 for an all needed entity.<br>Juan Fernandez Archipelago’s last big activation occurred in 2000, when CE0ZY activated this needed entity. They did a very good job. Since that DXpedition, other smaller expeditions have taken place, but not enough QSO’s logged to lessen the need for this entity.<br>So, whoever became a DXer post 2000, (and a whole generation of amateurs fits into this category) is literally hungry to work CE0Z. A hunger we look to satisfy.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p><span lang=IT style='font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>The team will be composed of seven members, all seasoned DXpeditioneers, and friends.<br>The team consists of: Fabri-IW3SQY (Team Leader), Franco-IZ8GCE, Paolo-IV3DSH, Josep-EA3AKY, Les-SP3DOI, Dino-CE3PG, and Art-WA7NB<br>As for our experience in performing top quality DXpeditions, the core of our team during last summer (2012), gave life to D64K.<br>With great expectation we have added a couple “new entries” to our group with a history in the contesting and dxing domain.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p><span lang=IT style='font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>Finally, a little about the set-up we've studied for XR0ZR. We plan to bring on the island: 2 Spiderbeams operating on 5 bands, Phased Vertical systems for both 30 and 40 meters, an 80/160 Vertical, along with some Beverages, and a multiband vertical used for 40-10 meters.<br>Transceivers to include: two K3 and two K2 Elcraft, and an ICOM IC7000. The shack will be completed by two Elcraft KPA500 amplifiers, and two other 500 watts amplifier.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p><span lang=IT style='font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>We will be also qrv on 6 meters. We expect to work many stations with F2 layer and TEP. We expect also some E's links with F2 to get into Oceania and Africa, as well as SA. For all other, we will be qrv on EME with 1kw and 8 elements antenna (6M8GJ).</span><o:p></o:p></p><p><span lang=IT style='font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>I think you now have enough to judge how serious and ambitious our undertaking this project will be, and how much it needs and deserves your support.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p><span lang=IT style='font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>These, in my humble opinion, are the major points for your consideration. Investing in our DXpedition can prove to be a winning choice, which will reflect positively on yourself, and the world amateur radio community.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p><span lang=IT style='font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>We'll be extremely grateful for your contribution. You can donate via Paypal, or contact me directly.<br>If you have any questions, requests, or concerns, you are invited to email me at any time.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p><span lang=IT style='font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>Thank you in advance for your commitment to our DXpedition. I look forward to hearing from you.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p><span lang=IT style='font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>In meantime you can follow us :</span><o:p></o:p></p><p><span style='font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>Website : <a href="http://www.juanfernandez2013.com">http://www.juanfernandez2013.com</a></span><o:p></o:p></p><p><span style='font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>Facebook : <a href="http://www.facebook.com/groups/xr0zr/">http://www.facebook.com/groups/xr0zr/</a></span><o:p></o:p></p><p><span style='font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>Twitter : <a href="http://www.twitter.com/xr0zr">@xr0zr</a></span><o:p></o:p></p><p><span lang=IT style='font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>Kindest regards,<br>Fabrizio Vallefuoco - IW3SQY / K3SQY</span><br><br><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;text-align:justify'><span style='font-family:"Comic Sans MS","serif"'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
