TX5Q Clipperton 2012 CANCELLED

[IK0ZCW]

A multi-disciplinary expedition to Clipperton Island will be carried out during March, 2012.

The expedition team is an international group of highly experienced radio amateurs, writers, artists, and field scientists. Clipperton will be activated for radio amateurs worldwide, using the callsign TX5Q.

The team will also deploy and use the innovative satellite-internet system (“DXA“) for real-time display of the expedition activities.

Friends-

John N7CQQ and I will be doing a modest DXpedition to Clipperton in March 2012. This is the next Cordell Expedition, after some others you might know about ( 3Y0PI , XR0Y/Z , VK0IR , XR0X , K7C , etc). We will also implement version 2 of DXA, the real-time website that automatically displayed your QSOs with K7C within a minute or so after you made them (remember the “greenies”?).

We are looking for a doctor/DXpeditioner to act as informal medic for the trip. The entire project is described at http://www.theclippertonproject.com/ . Details about the DXpedition ( we expect to use TX5Q ) are at http://www.cordell.org/CI .

Want to go, or know someone you can recommend?

We regret to announce that this operation had to be cancelled, due to unforseen problems with logistics and costs. We will plan to carry out a major DXpedition to Clipperton in early 2013. If you are interested in the project, please contact KK6EK at cordell.org
