<<< Thatâs great news! It should be a lot of fun comparing TP DX results! >>>

Yes, welcoming an international DXer to join a DXpedition is always a great opportunity to make a lifetime friend, and share a lot of great experiences together.

Nick, Tom and I were honored to welcome two Japanese DXers (Hiroo Nakagawa and Satoshi Miyauchi) to the Rockwork cliff in July of 2016, and they returned the favo(u)r by welcoming Nick to Japan a year later. The 2012 Yachats (OR) DXpedition had Mauno from Finland, Vlad from the Ukraine and Victor from Sri Lanka, all of whom stopped by my Rockwork cliff DXpedition motel in Cannon Beach for a nice visit.

In Chris R.'s case the Melbourne, Australia DXer was scheduled to visit the Cook Islands (Rarotonga) in June, and he asked about my DXing impressions there. When I told him that my most troublesome pests on Aitutaki were his Australia Overnight blasters 693-3AW and 1566-3NE he seemed to gain a lot of interest in Kauai :-)

Apparently Chris had been planning a June DXpedition to Rarotonga in the Cooks, but decided that Kauai in November would be a lot more thrilling. Maybe the wide open propagation paths to the Middle East, Africa, Asia and the Americas during last November's trip had some influence on his decision? Chris R. joins Chris B., Craig B. and yours truly as the participants in what figures to be the DXing thrill of a lifetime. If your situation allows, we would be honored to have you with us as well!
