RI0K team is in Anadyr!
After 11 hours of fly (with a short stop in Yakutsk), RI0K team successfully landed in Anadyr! They will have there food / some equipment supply and night rest.
Some changes in KL7RRC/p activity, instead of previously planned activity from village in valley, Yuri N3QQ, with the help of Ramon AL7X, who provide with power generator, plan to be landed on the top of the mountain with full “stand-alone” activity (tent, power generator, food and hot water self supply). Now, both teams, RI0K and KL7RRC/p will have “Robinsons’ style” – “tent & generators” operation.
KL7RRC/p is in the air from NA-150 – Little Diomede Isl
Yuri N3QQ/KL7 finally managed to reach the Little Diomede Island NA-150 (with strong landing rain/wind) with aid of helicopter! And started to hit the bands from 01 UTC with GREAT signal in Central European Russia. Approximate stay duration is limited by 24 hours. So, hurry up!
http://ri0k.ru/ri0k-never-ended-story/ : Last night was very difficult one, wind ~30 m/sec crashed the tents constantly, team tried several times to fix the temts in the night. Now, there is almost Zero visible distance. So, no even phantom chances to leave the island in such conditions. Team leaders have started to discuss the option to leave the Island with ship, if nothing changes next two days.
