the Natal DX Group (ndxg@qsl.net), is  likely to be the  last chance to  work
this DXCC entity and IOTA group for many years to come, as the Brazilian Navy
and the Brazilian  Institute for the  Environment are going  to restrict  the
access to the  islands. The total  budget for  the DXpedition  is around  US$
11,000: contributions from the  DX community will  be highly appreciated  and
can be sent to either WX5L Randy or PS7KM. [TNX EA5KW and PS7KM]
