February 22, 2016 – We’re pleased to announce that members of the Russian Robinson Club (RRC) namely Andrey R9XC, Yuri UA0KBG and Victor UA3AKO have plans to activate IOTA AS-092 Alyumka Island (RRA RR-12-09, RDA CК-02) between 20 – 25 of April 2016.

NEWS UPDATE

As reported previously, CY9C will have two separate sites…separated approximately 1.5 miles.

Site 1 – will be the Atlantic Cove site with 6 operators. We will try to keep 4 – 5 radios running and more if 12/10m opens. Our plan is to have a RTTY station active at all times. From this site 160 will be given lots of attention with the Battle Creek Special antenna.

Site 2 – the Northeast Point separate island will be enhanced to include 4 -5 operators active at all times, thus the dxpedition in total can potentially have 8 -10 radios working most of the time. We are seriously considering 6m EME and Satellite, however, we need to work out the planning details. And, as always, budget matters are a significant consideration as we expand operations. We appreciate the support by many to date. The desire is to make this a very complete operation that will offer fun and meeting needs for all interests.

MISE À JOUR DES NOUVELLES

Comme indiqué précédemment, CY9C aura deux sites séparés … séparés d’environ 1,5 miles.

Site 1 – sera le site Atlantic Cove avec 6 opérateurs. Nous allons essayer de garder 4 – 5 radios en cours d’exécution et plus si 12 / 10m ouvre. Notre plan est d’avoir une station de RTTY active en permanence. A partir de ce site de 160 sera donné beaucoup d’attention avec l’antenne spéciale Battle Creek.

Site 2 – l’île du Nord-point distinct sera amélioré pour inclure 4 -5 opérateurs actifs en tout temps, ainsi la DXpedition au total peut potentiellement avoir 8 à 10 radios qui travaillent la plupart du temps. Nous envisageons sérieusement 6m EME et Satellite, cependant, nous avons besoin de travailler sur les détails de la planification. Et, comme toujours, les questions budgétaires sont une considération importante que nous élargissons les opérations. Nous apprécions le soutien par beaucoup à ce jour. Le désir est d’en faire une opération très complète qui offrira plaisir et répondre aux besoins de tous les intérêts.

QRT – 105,000 QSOs reached

April 10 @ 0600Z – We have planned dismantling antennas and stations. The organisation is quite difficult to match with the high tide, we have only short windows, and wind/waves makes things difficult. We had to QRX few hours this afternoon, and we might also take breaks tomorrow to put bigger antennas down and load/unload the zodiac.

Our plan is to have a full setup until tomorrow morning (except 6m and second inband antenna for 10m). Then the night after we will be QRV only 10m to 40m until 00:00z Monday. It things goes well we should leave this island Monday in the afternoon.

We still have good rates on all bands, and we should soon reach the 100 000 QSOs mark, what a great news ! We will focus on our objectives until the very end.

NEWS UPDATE – “Bad weather has begun to set in, and is likely to be here for a while. With our departure coming soon, this means that teardown is beginning. We will try to stay on the air as long as possible, but may have a reduced number of stations on the air, and a reduced complement of antennas to use. Watch DXA to see where our stations are operating.

We will post updates as they become available, but everyone is busy here, either working the pileups or packing things up. Please listen to operator instructions—if they are calling for all-time new ones and you have us in the log, please stand by.
