Last news from Alex RW3RN, KL7RRC team member – 20 Jul 2010, 01:03 MSK:
We safety landed on Kodiak Island (NA-019), and prepare the equipment to try to be in the air already today from NA-019.
Plan to start travel to Chirikof IOTA NEW ONE NA-235 day after tomorrow.
Look for us in the air on the IOTA freqs!
Last news from Alex RW3RN, KL7RRC team member – 20 Jul 2010, 16:00 UTC:
Due to very strong fog above the Kodiak Island (NA-019), there is no chances to use hydroplane to fly from Kodiak to Chirikof Island IOTA NEW ONE NA-235.
Team has started to look for possibility of transportation with ship.
Last news from Alex RW3RN, KL7RRC team member – 21 Jul 2010, 00:01 UTC:
Team met the weather “window” and used this chance to leave Kodiak Island (NA-019) and to fly to Chirikof Island IOTA NEW ONE NA-235 direction. So, expect them to activate NA-235 soon.
Possible operation from NA-019 will be after NA-235 trip in this case.
Wish GL to everyone!
Shortly after 0900UTC, KL7RRC/P started operations from NA-235.
Some worrying cluster spots today, hope everyone is ok
