Genesis..or how it all got started..
It began as all things do, with a couple of YL's listening to the tall tales of another DX expedition to places only found on old maps. Enough is enough, it's time for the YL's to unite, plan and execute their own DX expedition.
And so it began .... The word was spread to local radio clubs and now there are eight dedicated YL's planning their first trip. The requirements for the site were few, warm climate, good location, minimal station setup, and adult beverages available..
