A challenge for us is to keep the weight allowanceunder control. The charter aircraft limits us to 1400 pounds total weight. That includes body weight for the team (3), personal items, equipment, antennas, computers, food, EVERYTHING. The weight creeps upward pretty fast and must be watched carefully.

It looks like the low bands will still be very productive ones as Cycle 24 lingers. I personally am pleased and excited to have the Battle Creek Special going with us.
There seems to be lots of interest on 160 by the EU's and others as well.

One thing that we are "not" is experience RTTY operators.
However, the recent few weeks we have equipped our stations with the necessary computer interface, software, etc. and becoming a bit more enlighten on RTTY operation.
We've made a number of contacts and pleased to have this set up and ready. NCDXF in particular encouraged us to include RTTY.

Web traffic continues to increase from world-wide QTH's.
Certainly, we know CY0 not one of the most rare spots.. but it does look like many are looking for it to fill in
a mode/band combo and hopefully it'll be an interesting event and promote activity for our wonderful hobby.
Thanks..we appreciate the support; we can't express that enough!! We look forward to working you.

This month we are highlighting three more team members. You can read all their history at http://www.midway2009.com/meettheops3.html

Many of the team members were at Dayton and took advantage of being together by conducting their first meeting as a group. They also enjoyed meeting the DXers that are always in attendance.

We are still accepting contributions and all donations received are greatly appreciated. Remember, contributing is easy and fast and can be forwarded several ways. You can visit the www.midway2009.com website and use Pay Pal or a credit card or by the U.S. Mail. All contributions are noted on the website and depending on the level of support will be noted on the DXpedition QSL. And the Midway Store is always open and available for your purchase of Midway souvenirs.

Our web site also now shows take offs to numerous areas around the world. Take a look at these and see your direction.
