Following a Preamble and announcements, Bill Dzurilla, NZ5N, http://www.qrz.com/nz5n will present his adventures to, during and from the recent Swan Island Dxpedition which ended about March 27.

Additional questions will be allowed as time permits. This will allow reduction of duplicate questions and also allow David to be heard by everyone via the repeater. Please include your Name and Call Sign. Credit of the Name and Call Sign will be given over the repeater for those questions sent to David. During prior events, many mobile units were unable to present a consistent r.f. signal into the repeater.
