INTREPID SPIRIT AWARD

[IK0ZCW]

The Intrepid-DX Group is pleased to announce that this year's award goes to the Perseverance DX Group's VP8PJ South Orkney Islands team (DJ9RR, HA0NAR, HB9BXE, K3EL, K5GS, N6XG, N7QT, NG2H, UT6UD, VK6CQ, W1SRD, W2LK, W7XU and WA6O) "for their superb activation from Signy Island. This DXpedition was extremely well planned and executed from this very remote, cold and harsh island". The Intrepid-DX Group recognizes "the entire team's collective effort to activate these challenging and much needed entities on behalf of a grateful Global DX Community", and acknowledges "the team's pursuit of operating excellence in making these difficult activations". Made in memory of James McLaughlin, WA2EWE/T6AF (killed in Kabul, Afghanistan, on 27 April 2011), the Intrepid Spirit Award "is intended to recognize and honor those individuals or teams that boldly activate rare entities where their own personal safety is secondary to their pursuit of providing contacts to the DX Community".
