St. Paul Island DXpedition New Member

The St. Paul Island DXpedition scheduled for August 19-29th, 2016, has added another new member/operator to the team - Phil McBride, VA3QR, making the number of amateur / ham radio operators to nine!

McBride has been a ham since his teenage years, enjoys DXing, contesting, and technical aspects of our hobby. This will be his first DXpedition.

The team is contributing most of the funding for the DXpedition, however are open to accepting individual donations - No amount is too small. The single most expensive item is the cost for the transportation to access the island. While a contact cannot be guaranteed, those who do "work (QSO) us, that have made a donation, will automatically receive a QSL card. No need for a request to be made, no postage, no green stamps. It is a small way for us to say 'thank you'".
