Cezar (VE3LYC), Craig (VK5CE), Johan (PA3EXX), and Bob (KD1CT) are pleased to announce that after almost three years of discussions with the Department of Parks and Wildlife of Western Australia, they have been granted a landing and operating permit from Sandy Islet, OC-294. Editor's Note: Sandy Islet, of Scott Reef South (WW Loc. PH05VW), is part of the Scott Reef Nature Reserve (IUCN Category 1a), a Marine Protected Area. They will attempt to be on the air for four full days between September 14 and 21. Details can be found on the expedition website (vk6isl.weebly.com/). VK6ISL represents the callsign the Team applied for. The costs associated with this project are extremely high, in great part due to the licensing restrictions imposed by the Conservation Authority for boat transportation, which drastically reduced the available options. The Team is looking for any possible financial support from groups and individuals who can help them defray some of these costs." [DX-World] ======
