A two element triband yagi antenna for 20-15-10m will be shipped to Robinson Crusoe Is. in early April along with other radio stuffs, in total 45kg of additional cargo. 

The shipment will be carried aboard the vessel "Antonio" which operates two monthly cargo trips from the port of Valparaiso to Robinson Crusoe Island.

Finally more cargo than expected is ready to be shipped to Robinson Crusoe Is. that´ s because I´ ve added some mono bands yagi antennas and a dual-band cubical quad antenna for 12 & 17m, along with a long list of radio gear. Everything is prepared to be sent to the city port of Valparaíso where it will be loaded for transport to the island. "It's better to be well prepared and pay extra cargo for overweight" don't you think?

Today, approximately 120kg of cargo was shipped to the city port of Valparaiso - more than I initially expected - the cargo is scheduled to arrive in Robinson Crusoe Is. during the first week of May, a couple of weeks ahead of my own arrival, which is planned for the third or four week of May. I will be sharing more detailed and exact dates ASAP.

The vessel Antonio, which transports cargo from the port of Valparaíso to Juan Fernández Island, arrived at the island yesterday and is currently unloading all the cargo — including my expedition equipment.

My contact on the island has informed me that everything arrived safely and intact which is a very good news, this will allowed me travel light. 

You can watch a short video of the unloading operation on my YouTube channel, follow me for further videos before during and after de operation on Juan Fernandez Island.

Possible Activation of SA-101 Alejandro Selkirk Island 

There is now a very strong possibility of carrying out a short but highly valuable operation from Alejandro Selkirk Island SA-101 (7.4% according IOTA Ltd), with an estimated on-air window of approximately 24 to 36 hours.

This activation will depend entirely on the final logistics costs involved in moving part of my radio equipment to the island, as well as securing enough gasoline to keep the generator running during the operation.

Should this operation take place, will be under the callsign XR0Z, which has already been requested and authorized by SUBTEL.

Although this would be a limited-time activity, it represents an excellent and perhaps rare opportunity to put SA-101 on the air again for the benefit of the worldwide IOTA community.

At this moment, everything is under evaluation and the project remains open, but the chances are real and increasing.

More information soon as plans develop.
