[4L5A]

KH6VV/KH4 Second Half of February 2020.
Midway Atoll is #14 on the ClubLog most wanted list and has not been active for some time. The aircraft used for the logistics flights has been downsized and visitors are no longer allowed to fly to the island. Operators interested in joining the expedition should be prepared to undertake a 6.75 day ocean voyage.

The vessel DXpedition veteran A/S Machias can be seen on my QRZ page KH6DV.

The vessel will provide all power (2 x 27KW generators) and air conditioned sleeping, operating and galley areas.

For operators who would like to join the expedition, please send me an email. Anyone with FT-8 F&H experience from the expedition side please state so.
•What we need:

About 11 operators. Someone with experience in contacting DX clubs to solicit donations. Donations are being accepted at the expedition PayPal account (KH6VV@outlook.com). Make sure you note your call sign so we can add you to the express LoTW list.

Midway KH6VV/KH4 update
July 08,2020

We've all seen the latest pandemic news, it's not progressing in a good direction or anything like the earlier predictions. The U.S. now has 132,000 deaths and the forecast is for 200,000 by November. We have encountered a strong and understandable pushback related to the original operation date of October 2020. Once the possibility of moving the operation to the second half of February 2021 the conversation turned more positive. The application for the Special Use Permit for Midway has now been edited and now proposes a period of the second half of February and will be submitted this week.

Two things now need to happen:
1. We need more operator interest.
2. We need more donations to the expedition PayPal page. (kh6vv@outlook.com)
