 EU-189.
In a update by Col, MM0NDX, in regards to Isle of Rockall, he states, "Never been a better chance of this rare one being
activated.
There is potential that more than one trip to Rockall
will occur next year, but still to be finalized.
Will provide
more info when known." In a press release by Island Man/Andy
Strangeway, he states, "I appreciate it would appear that there has been little news in the last few weeks, but I can
assure everyone that things have certainly been moving. I
expect before Christmas that news of transportation to Rockall
being secured will be announced. Working in tandem with my
friend Col, MM0NDX, I am acutely aware of the interest shown
in EU-189. With this in mind I would like to invite radio hams,
be they individuals or clubs, to contact me with their proposals
to be part of this exciting expedition. I require the following
information to be included in the proposal.
* The maximum and minimum number of berths that would be
required.
* A CV of previous radio activations of those that would be
involved.
* Any information of additional skills that would strengthen
the depth of the expedition, for example any crewing of
yacht/boat, tender experience or climbing ability.
The countries who have so far shown the greatest interest in
the expedition are Belguim, France, Japan, Norway, UK and USA.
I would especially like to hear from Japanese radio hams as
not one operator from Japan has ever contacted Rockall. EU-189
is the most wanted IOTA in Japan.
Once the transport has been secured, the team for the expedition
will be selected and dates announced. A website can be built
especially for the radio hams and a QSL manager is already secured should you require these extras. For all proposals in
the first instance, please contact Andy at
This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
within the next seven days."
