A DXpedition is a amateur radio dedicated trip to anyplace where
there's some demand for contacts from the particpants in the game we
play. IOM isn't common on the satellites, and for a while wasn't
terribly common on RTTY, so a DXpedition would be appropriate.
Also, it's a relatively rare prefix, so a DXpedition there for any of
the WPX contests is appropriate. EI isn't uncommon in any mode.

It also depends upon what you want. A DXpedition to a fairly common area
seems like a waste of time, but it may not be for the people who need
that particular country on a specific band and mode.

For example, I live in Israel. Not a very rare catch, but for someone starting
out a weekend U.S. time operation on 10 meters when it's open would allow
them to get a new country. Especialy if the station operates in English and
at 5-10 wpm CW.

Someone coming here for a week or two could do several hundred contacts and
make a lot of new hams happy.

So next time you plan a vacation, think about making it a DXpedition.
