We have just received notification from Lutz, DK8UH, Secretary & QSL-Manager of the German DX Foundation. who reports that the GDXF will make a donation of €6500, or about US$7335 to the Heard Island Expedition. This very generous level of support will be very valuable in ensuring that VKØEK will be “loud” and “long.” We extend to our German radio friends sincerest appreciaiton for this fine support.
