Peter I
Press Release #2006-3

From:	Team co-leaders:
	Ralph Fedor, KØIR and Bob Allphin, K4UEE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The 2006 Peter I (3YØX) DXpedition Team announced today that it has been awarded a major sponsorship grant by the Northern California DX Foundation, Inc. (NCDXF).

This DXpedition is funded principally by the contributions of its twenty-plus team members, but 30 % of the total cost must come from the DX community.  We are extremely pleased that the Northern California DX Foundation has decided to be the DXpedition's largest financial contributor.  Their contribution to the 2006 DXpedition exceeds their contribution for last year's postponed effort.  The DXpedition leaders and team members thank NCDXF for their continued confidence and support.

In early February, 2006, a multinational team of approximately twenty operators, one explorer, and a professional photographer led by Antarctic DXpedition veterans Ralph Fedor, KØIR and Bob Allphin, K4UEE, will activate Peter I Island. Team members come from France, Norway, Russia, Switzerland, Netherlands, Martinique and the United States, and many possess significant DXpedition and Antarctic experience.
