The team are still in the same location as shown on the map below from a few days ago. They are waiting on the rest of the crew arriving from Norilsk before all heading off to Rykacheva island on March 12. https://www.dx-world.net/r150ws-rykacheva-island-as-104/
The first night on the island was uneventful. Everything works fine, we sleep in the warmth. During the night, the equipment warmed up. In the morning the weather gave us a gift! -9, there is almost no wind and sometimes the sun peeps out. And so the whole day. We assembled and installed two antennas, went on the air by lunchtime. At 22 pm we had about 700 QSOs, while the passage is pleasing. Colleagues who are not involved in the Radio went on reconnaissance in the direction of Isachenko Island AS-050. They only reached the Kruzenshtern Islands, 23 km from Rykachev Island, it was not possible to go further because of the large hummocks. Tomorrow there will be a few more trips and, weather permitting, reconnaissance by quadcopter.
