Rockall on the air ?

425 DX News reports that Rockall (IOTA EU-189) may be activated in the next few days.

425 DX News #888 says

Mike, K9AJ, is a member of the team travelling to Rockall (EU-189) in a few days' time. If weather and seas allow, he will be QRV using battery power on 20 and 40 metres CW on the IOTA frequencies for +/- 24 hours.

The time window is approximately 14-15 May, but landing date/time is at the sole discretion of the captain and could be +/- one or two days.

Rockall is the rarest IOTA group in Europe, and was activated only once, and just for a few hours, back in 2005.
