will be active as XF3RR from Isla Cerrito between December

and it will be a low scale operation as the island is a

NA-231. (NEW/RARE IOTA). After his recent and memorable trip to
Ottawa Islands (NA-230 as VY0O), Cezar, VE3LYC, will attempt
to activate East Pen Island, Nunavut, for three days during
the period between March 26-31st, 2010. Intended callsign will
be VY0V which will be applied for in due course. East Pen
Island is located in CQ Zone 4.
Cezar would like to remind
everyone that an earlier try he undertook with Ken/G3OCA in
July 2007 was unsuccessful. The outcome of this new attempt
will be determined by local conditions, weather and safety
factors.
At this time Cezar is looking for group and individual
donors who understand and appreciate the nature of this
difficult project and are willing to join in the effort. Support
for this project is welcome via PayPal at: tiberius.trifu@gmail.com
