I know guys from NA and SA were disappointed. Sadly these 2 men didn't have any CW experience. 2 other men tried to get on but couldn't get on because the tide was to low for them to get on. I wish Col and his team all the luck in 2013. But remember, it won't be easy! These guys risked their lives Fred! I know guys from NA and SA were disappointed.

EU-189 is the only EU island group I still have NOT in my collection. I was listening on MM0RAI/P frequency on 40M almost during all the time of their activity, but couldn't hear a beep... Meanwhile propagation to UK on 20 meters was excellent until 2100z. But on 40M was impossible to hear them... So my next chance to add EU-189 in my collection is your expedition... 73 Boyan LZ1BJ Sad news…

I hope that the reason of the postponed depend only by the recent Belgian’s activity. This last one is a good job (FB) for the incursion, after a travel with seasick and several undertaken attempts on the rock, but in twelve hours of activity, for 98% in 40 m (apart the pirate one in CW, seems that they have made some QSO in 20) and an incredible mass of Idiots and QRMer, how many QSO will have loaded on theirs log? I can’t say that the Invoker team is better than Belgian team, but I belive that if they had left in the next summer to the Rockall, probably, they would sure have caught up better goals, because also the team is tested for extreme activities from various islands, above all in those seas. To this point I’m very sad because, I don’t have EU-189 on my log, because in the last expedition, was a lot of QRN and QRM’ers and because I don’t have the QRO, anyway I and my friend waited for the Invoker opportunity.

Quest’ultimo è da lodare per l’incursione effettuata a valle di un viaggio con mare da paura e vari tentativi intrapresi per approdare sullo scoglio, ma in 12 ore circa di attività effettuata per 98% in 40 m (a parte il pirata in CW, sembra che abbiano fatto qualche QSO in 20)e una incredibile massa di Idioti e QRMer, quanti QSO avranno caricato sul loro log? Non sono in diritto di dire che l’Invoker team sia migliore di quello belga, ma credo fortemente che se fossero partiti nella prossima estate alla volta di the Rock, probabilmente, visto il periodo, avrebbero sicuramente raggiunto traguardi migliori, anche perchè il team ormai è collaudato alla grande per attività estreme da isole, soprattutto in quei mari. A questo punto sono molto dispiaciuto perchè, personalmente non essedo riuscito a collegare l’isola per via di disturbi e disturbatori e perchè mi mancava il QRO, sia io che amici aspettavamo con ansia l’attività degli Invoker.

The MM0RAI/p expedition was one of those things that must be forgotten ... more then ever, a good operation is still needed by amateurs from all over the world. Remember that they only was active on 40 meters and worked (99% of the qsos) EU. We never heard in SA !!! Please remember that only a few EUs made the qso with EU-189.
