UPDATE -
===========================================
ROCKALL EU-189 -
The following update has just been released by Col McGowan, MM0NDX:
At 17.45 UTC, Mike (K9AJ) phoned Col from the yacht anchored near to
Rockall, and asked him to convey this news to the waiting world.
Mike said there was a problem - no radio operation would occur due to
the height of the swell. He quoted 15-20ft around the rock. Although the
sea state itself was slight to moderate, the incoming swell kept
battering off Rockall making it impossible to land.
The climbers tried a few times to land, but the inflatable dinghy they
were in kept being lifted up 20ft, making landing impossible. Mike said
they would possibly try tomorrow, but was not optimistic at all. More
than likely they will now return to St. Kilda. It was unknown if Mike
would operate from there. [I1JQJ]
===========================================
73 and Good DX!
