June 24-29th. Activity will be on the HF bands using CW and

EU-189. The big disappointment of the week was that the Rockall Island
operation did not take place. The rough seas and huge waves
were the major factors that did not let the team land on Rockall.
With both wind and sea conditions so bad on the way back, most
of the team and crew on board the sail yacht Elinca were seasick
and did not come out of their bunks, not even to eat. Some of
the radio equipment got smashed onto the floor when the Elinca
got pounded with a big wave. As this was being typed, no other
news has been reported about the MM0RAI team since Friday.
