AU2V – Sacrifice Rock, India (IOTA AS-161)
*Breaking News: Sacrifice Rock IOTA Activation on the Horizon!*
After the resounding success of our previous activations at Nachugunta, Kanika, and Sagar, our team has set its sights on the elusive Sacrifice Rock, one of the most coveted IOTA locations among chasers. This ambitious project has been years in the making, and we’re thrilled to finally share the news with the amateur radio community.
Sacrifice Rock, notorious for its challenging terrain, inhospitable environment, and exorbitant costs, has long been considered a “holy grail” of IOTA activations. Our team is determined to overcome these obstacles and bring this rare entity to the airwaves.
The project’s estimated cost is approximately $10,000, which will cover essential expenses such as:
– Procuring additional generators and equipment
– Lightweight, portable tents and tables
– A holding boat and 24/7 safety team
– Band-pass filters, amplifiers, and reception antennas to combat high noise levels
We’ve received informal approval from local authorities and officials, and we’re eagerly awaiting formal confirmation. Once we receive the green light, we’ll announce the callsign and other details.
Time is of the essence, as this activation can only take place between December and February. We urge all IOTA chasers and DXers to support this expedition, which promises to be an unforgettable experience.
*Tentative Details:*
– Dates: Second week of February
– QSL Manager: Charles, M0OXO
Stay tuned for updates, and get ready to join us on this thrilling adventure!
