Our growing contingent of Kauai, Hawaii ocean beach DXers is hono(u)red to welcome Chris Rogers of Melbourne, Australia to the group.

Chris is a member of our Groups.io Ultralight DX community, who has apparently been influenced by the contagious fanaticism of live DXers pushing their luck on exotic ocean beaches with hot-rodded Ultralights, elevated PVC bases and astonishingly effective FSL antennas. Apparently Chris had been planning a June DXpedition to Rarotonga in the Cooks, but decided that Kauai in November would be a lot more thrilling. Maybe the wide open propagation paths to the Middle East, Africa, Asia and the Americas during last November's trip had some influence on his decision? Chris R. joins Chris B., Craig B. and yours truly as the participants in what figures to be the DXing thrill of a lifetime. If your situation allows, we would be honored to have you with us as well!
