July 5 – Mikhail, RA1ALA is soon heading to the Kuril islands and will be active from Paramushir AS-025. On July 6th he will be flying from St. Peterburg to Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, where he will sail for 20 hours to reach the island on the 9th.
He expects to start operations on 10th July, after setting up the antenna field for 40m, 20m, 15m and 10m, and expects to QRT on the 19th July to catch the boat back to Petropavlovsk.
Mikhail will take videos of all his activity and for sure delight us with another great movie, as he uses to do after all his expeditions.
