T31 DXpedition Cancellation Announcement: Sept/Oct 2010Friday Mar 12, 2010
It is with great regret that David (K3LP – Co-Leader) and I (Hrane as YT1AD – Leader) must inform the DX Community that after 16 months of planning our DXpedition trip to T31 – Canton Island, slated for 11 days in Oct. 2010, the trip will be cancelled. We planned 6 stations fully equipped for HF plus two additional stations for UHF/VHF/Satellite plus 13-14 operators. Our goal was to make 100,000 plus QSOs much like our N8S – Swains Island DX-pedition in 2006.
This decision is based on the March 7, 2010 announcement by the T31X team planned for June 2010. Unfortunately, it is cheaper to send a smaller crew with three radios and two amplifiers. In light of this recent announcement, the total cost of the trip versus the uniqueness will evaporate prior to our arrival. For this reason, we will pick another location for a future date. Minus some team member partial cash contributions and planned equipment sponsors, there were no cash donations made that need to be refunded. We will forfeit our $40K cash deposit on the boat and seek other places in 2011.

Hi guys!
Pity you decided to cancell the operation. T31X team won’t be able to work any European on 80-160m and even 30-40m is not that easy. Conditions at the end of May won’t allow any LF opening to Europe, just a few Eastern and Western Europeans will probably get a short window on 30 and 40.
T31X will have chances just 20m and up (17 and 15 most likely).
So I bet T31 demand would be VY HIGH here in Europe, please consider you guys are the only chance for a 80-160m contact with T31!
Thanks!
Sorry to see you guy stepping back from all your plans!
The demand would definately that high that every team would get a fair share. Seems to me that you can´t live with only being No. 2!
Such is life!
I don’t think that canceling the operation is a good idea. I recall 3B7C which was a big success, even though 3B7SP preceded them a few months…
Today there are spots of KH6/N9YU (aka YT1AD) working Europe. Who knows what the guy is up to this time? Maybe he’s set to another recognition trip to the Pacific !??
