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.
