@David, K2DBK - That would be a good thing to do. If you do it, send me the link and I'll also reference your site here. I just think DXpeditions need a "press kit" so they can get the news out.

@Scott, when I went on my trip to Cayman, I started collecting email addresses and other info for sites and lists that distributed information about dxpeditions. (Well, I wouldn’t quite call my trip a dxpedition). I’m sure that it’s by no means complete, but maybe I’ll publish it on my website as a resource, and I can update it as I get additional information.

@David, K2DBK - Or all of the different ways. We probably need a checklist out there of everyone to contact with the right information so at least it is everywhere it should be...

I think it’s not so much figuring out the “one best” way as figuring out which ways (plural) work.

In a case like this, the shotgun approach seems to make sense.

@David, K2DBK -
Makes you wonder what the “best” method of communicating it is. DX Bulletins, Web Site, others? Then, of course, people need to follow directions…!

One interesting thing that I saw mentioned on a couple of lists (and possibly on the VP6DX site itself) was that the VP6DX guys realized that they didn’t do a good enough job about getting the word out about not sending them cards directly when they returned from their trip to find several thousand QSL cards waiting for them.
