PACIFIC DXPEDITION (3D2, FK8, FW, H44 and more!) Holger/Y58IO, Tom/Y31XO

They plan to start from Nadi (3D2) on the 21st of November and are hoping
to receive the callsigns 3D2XO, 3D2QD AND 3D2IO. After a short stay in 
3D2 they will travel to Solomon Islands for the CQ WW CW DX Contest as
H44IO and H44XO. They are hoping to use the two 20 meter high towers of 
the Solomon Islands Telecom. Around Decemebr 3 or 4, Tom, Frank and 
Holger will return to the Fiji Islands and link up with Brigit, Y58AO.
At this point they plan trips to New Caledonia (FK8), Wallis and 
Futuna Islands (FW). They mentioned a possible second trip to 5W1, or 
T2, T30 or C2. Those decisions will be made once in the Pacific. They
look to return to Germany in late January. Their expected cost for this
trip is 40,000 dollars (US). (Help with the cost of printing QSL cards 
and donations are appreciated.)
