Rockall announcement (IOTA EU-189):
EA2TA, EA3NT, IZ7ATN and MM0NDX have
the ambitious goal of bringing the lonely and inaccessible cliffs of
Rockall in the North Atlantic on the air for 24 to 48 hours in 2012.
After evaluation of past weather data the group sees a chance to start
a try during late May or early June next year.
This time they will have
the support of an experienced mountain climber (Nick Hancock). The team
says that they are aware that near-perfect landing conditions are
necessary to make this enterprise a success.
They are looking for sponsors now (via Paypal rockall.eu189@gmail.com).
In view of some unsuccessful attempts to activate Rockall in recent
years this seems to be not very easy either.
