Leaders of the
aborted 3Y0Z DXpedition to Bouvet Island last February are offering partial
refunds of donations made to help cover trip expenses. The expedition was
cancelled at the last minute due to weather conditions. The ARRL Letter reports that, after covering
all expenses incurred, the group is offering to refund 48% of all
contributions. However, they'd rather donors "pay it forward" to help
fund future DXpeditions.
Donors have five
options:
1) Get a refund check;
2) Donate your refund to the 3Y0Z team to help
members recover some of their personal expenses;
3) Donate the refund to the
Northern California DX Foundation (NCDXF) or
4) the International DX Association
(INDEXA) to help fund future DXpeditions; or
5) the default option, if no
instructions are received, a four-way split between the 3Y0Z team, the NCDXF,
INDEXA and GDXF, the German DX Foundation.
Donors should contact team co-leader
Bob Allphin, K4UEE, with instructions.
