Yuri Sushkin is a real Ham He’s one of those guys Hams call Elmer. He’s the Elmer of the ultimate DX-pedition. Yuri is taking a few good Hams with him to a an out-of-the-way place in Alaska. They plan to operate Ham radio stations there so other Hams from around the world can say they have talked to another Ham at that rare elusive place – Chuginadak Island.

Hams like Yuri do the things most of us can only dream about. We will share the experience vicariously through Yuri’s visit to the rare island group in the Aleutian Islands. As most of Yuri’s customers here at PopularWireless know – Yuri rocks! That being said PopularWireless asked Yuri to spend his next advertising check toward the big event. Yuri is a dealer of ICOM GMRS and Amateur Radio products. His customer service is second to none.

The DX-pedition is being done as an activity of IOTA, a group of interested Hams sponsoring Amateur Radio trips to out of the way islands groups. Operation on shortwave through six meters begins July 31, 2008 and runs until the departure date July 27th.

PopularWireless wishes Yuri and the Hams on this unique trip a safe voyage to and from not to mention a whole of radio contacts with the rest of us Hams!
