   From BobÿKK6EK team leader of VK0EK:   
      
   "On behalf of the VKØEK team, their families, the support groups in   
   California, U. S. East Coast, Cape Town South Africa, and Perth, and Western   
   Australia, about a hundred amateur radio and commercial organizations, and   
   nearly 10,000 individual DXers,    
   we express our sincere appreciation for this honor.   
      
   It was, in fact, one of our central goals to extend the outreach to various   
   communities, principally using social media and satellite-based real-time   
   communications, as well as the highest standards and fastest response time in   
   the QSL operation,    
   activities that go beyond simply logging QSOs during the operation. We believe   
   that the future of DX must include a widened range of communications   
   activities not traditionally associated with a classic (20th-Century)   
   DXpedition.   
      
   The recognition by DX Coffee that extended communications are an important   
   part of this future is welcomed by us, and based on the popularity of the   
   various activities implemented for VKØEK, by the vast majority of DXers   
   worldwide.   
      
   Thank you so much for highlighting this important part of DX and amateur radio   
   in general."
