Here are a few of the operators who will make your qso with Midway Island possible:
Tom Berson - ND2T
Palo Alto, CA - Age 62
Tom was first licensed in 1957. He has had a radio within arm's reach
ever since (although his amateur license did lapse for almost forty
years). He loves the challenges of tight integration among radios,
computers, and antenna systems. He is a member of competitive multi-op
CW, SSB, and RTTY contesting teams at W6YX, W6OAT, K6IDX, and W7RN. He
is busy making up for lost solar cycles by working all the DX he can
hear, and he prays daily for more sunspots.
Tom has admired antennas during his travels to 9M2, 9M8, 9V, BV, B, C3,
CT, DL, DU, E5, EA, EA6, EI, ES, F, FO, GD, GI, GJ, GM, GU, GW, HA, HB,
HB0, HL, HS, HV, I, JA, KH6, KL, LA, LX, OE, OH, OK, ON, OZ, PA, SM, SP,
SV, TA, TF, VE, VK, VR, VU, XE, and YO. That said, he has been QRV only
from K, UA1, UA9, and in 2007 at BS7H.
Tom is a past-President and Director of the Northern California Contest
Club. He is a member of the Northern California DX Foundation, the
Mother Lode DX and Contest Club, and the Stanford Amateur Radio Club.
Tom is an expert in cryptology, information security, and information
conflict. He runs a consulting outfit called Anagram Laboratories.
James Brooks-9V1YC
Singapore
James has been licensed (as KA1BJH) since he was 12 years old. When he is not
too overworked at his absurdly high-stress TV job he occasionally
takes a break and goes somewhere really weird with his radio
buddies. James likes to work DX (and contests) the old fashioned
way, and thinks the Packet Cluster[tm] is the root of all evil.
Skimmers too.
He lives in Singapore with his YL, Lee Lian. They also share the
house with a big brown dog, two turtles and a fish. They hope to
retire to Scarborough Reef one day and open the island's first
Chinese restaurant.
Tom Harrell-N4XP, Team Co-Leader
Monroe, Georgia, Age 62
Tom was licensed in 1960 as KN4TSJ and soon thereafter was working DX as K4TSJ. Current achievements are DXCC with 361 countries and Top of the Honor Roll; Honor Roll on Mixed, SSB and CW and 9 Band DXCC. He has also obtained 5BWAZ and WPX on Mixed, SSB and CW.

Tom also manages QSLs for many DX stations having provided thousands of QSLs world wide.
He is a member of the South Eastern DX Club, Northern California DX Foundation, INDEXA, The German DX Foundation, The OK DX Foundation (OK) and The First Class Operators Club (FOC).
Tom is retired from the Federal Fire Service as a Senior Fire Officer with thirty years service. In 2006 Tom was recalled back into the service and now provides fire protection services to the United States Army Reserve throughout the Southeast United States. He also is President of S. Thomas Harrell & Associates, LLC and provides consulting services in fire protection and prevention worldwide.
