Hurricane Gonzalo /IO9Y

TO HAM COMMUNITY – IO9Y 2014

It’s with a big sadness that we have to announce that our team, IO9Y, has lost most of the antennas after Hurricane Gonzalo effects applied on Mediterranean sea.

All damages happened during the night from October 22^nd to 23^rd.

We lost almost all antennas (both 4 squares, 160 vertical, yagis,…)

Such a big effort destroyed in a night. A year of investment in energy, planning, strategy and money.
10 full days of hard work in a true team spirit. Everything ruined in a night!

The team is now totally down. We don’t know how and when we’ll manage to leave the island. As all ferries connection as cancelled.

73’s from ex-IO9Y team.

 

Sorry to see that mess. What a pity.
I'm on Vieques Island offshore from PR. Gonzalo missed us by about 100 miles. I had no idea it was still in action.

Good luck with the cleanup and getting out of there.
