RT9K/0 AS-203NEW

Plaque

The expedition team continue their way to IOTA AS-203NEW. 

Follow their track here. Upon arriving Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky the team will wait for a ship (0-7 days) and then leave for AS-203. This 1500 km voyage should take 1-2 weeks. So expected QRV is the beginning of September. Team plans to stay on AS-203 for about a week.. activation of Kambalny (Toporkov) Island (AS-142) is very much possible on their way back.

The image above shows the plaque to be affixed one the island once AS-203 is activated (courtesy DX World.net)
