In this issue by DX Editor Dimiter Petrov, LZ1AF, with Broadcast Tips by Rumen Pankov:
3C0C Annobon Island Operation Delayed
Spanish hams Elmo, EA5BYP and Javier, EA5KM had announced they would be active from Annobon Island, Africa in April 2010, 10 to 160 meters CW, SSB and RTTY with an emphasis on the low bands and CW. They will operate two stations. During the operation from Annobon they will not have internet connection, so the logs will be published after the DXpedition.
However, the long awaited 3C0C operation from Annobon Island has suffered a setback, due to repairs being made to the island's lone airport runway. On March 12 the ham radio operations planners announced that they had received a statement from Equatorial Guinea informing them that repairs to the runway will begin shortly and are expected to last two to three months. During that time no aircraft can land or depart from Annobon.
DXpedition planners say that travel by boat is not a reality due to the small number of available water craft and the time it would take. So, we are looking forward to receiving further news!
