Landing on Rockall impossible
The skipper of the "Elinca" did not allow a landing on Rockall.
The waves are too high; even launching a Zodiac is impossible.
A very sad Theo, ON4ATW told us at 09.00 UT they will have to come back to
Scotland. "The weather is worsening by the hour and the weather forecast for
the coming days does not give any hope" he told us by satphone. For tomorrow 5
Bft winds are forecasted with gusts up to 80 km/h.
We are all very disappointed that after all these preparations a landing was
not possible. However we learned a lot about all the aspects of putting up a
DXpedition. One way or another this knowledge will be used.

BITS & PIECES -

April 29, 2009
For Immediate Release:
YOUNG BRIT CAME OUT AS WINNER OF RADIO ARCALA ESSAY CONTEST
It was in February 2009 when the team at Radio Arcala, OH8X launched
an essay contest to get some fresh ideas from today's youth and
their elders to boost recruitment to the ranks of Amateur Radio. Great
participation was ensured, and determining the winners took some effort
from a multinational jury representing six nations.
A 19-year old Briton, Mark Dumpleton, 2E0NCG came out as winner by a
fair margin while two U.S. hams, John Scott Anderson, KC9OQO and Brian
Wood, W0DZ , finished in second and third place respectively. Argentinian Diego
Salom, LU8DX was recognized for his submission of the best Spanish language
piece.
You can read Mark's piece and his interview at www.radioarcala.com
under the "Young People Terms" button and get your personal inspiration to do
your share for Amateur Radio.
