         VP6R" page.
         The pilot station network for the DXpedition  includes  WB9Z (Chief
         and  North American pilot),  EA3AKP (Western and  Southern Europe),
         G3XTT (Western Europe),  IK0FVC (Southern Europe),  JJ3PRT (Japan),

         Members"  page  for  the  details.   The  pilot  plan  is  somewhat
         'Eurocentric',  because  needs for a VP6  contact  are  greater  in
         Europe,  EU  signals  may be  'under'  stronger signals  from other

         challenges which differ among  the various parts  of the continent.
