                  >>> DXPEDITIONING - BEHIND THE SCENES <<<

Edited by  Neville  Cheadle (G3NUG)  and  Steve Telenius-Lowe  (G4JVG),  this
182+XXXIV-page book has been written by members of the 1998 9M0C Spratly team
(65,500 QSOs in  12 days). It  is not  a story  of the  DXpedition but  draws
heavily on the experiences at 9M0C and on many other DXpeditions in order  to
offer an extensive coverage of virtually  all aspects of a major  expedition,
from  early  planning  through  QSLing.  Full  information  is  available  at
http://www.nevada.co.uk/book-DX.html (where the book can be ordered). All the
surpluses from sales of this book will  flow to a new organisation (the  Five
Star DXers Association) and will be used as  part of the funding for a  major
DXpedition probably to the Central Pacific in March 2001.
