    Russian Robinson Club (RRC)’s members Victor UA3AKO, Yuri UA0KBG and Alexander RA3AV are preparing an expedition to Kosa Dvukh Pilotov Island IOTA AS-207NEW, Chukchi Sea Coast Centre group, RDA: CK-05, WW LOC: AP18gg, RRA: RR-11-05. This new IOTA group will be activated for the first time.
    The expedition will use R207RRC callsign.
    The expedition is planned for early April 2020. Estimated dates are from 3rd to 10th of April. Due to the very complex logistics and rapidly changing weather conditions the exact “on air” dates will be advised separately by Andrew EU7A, the expedition’s pilot. The planned period of the operation is at least 5 days. Under favorable weather conditions, the air time may be extended up to 7-8 days. At least two simultaneous operating positions will be used.
    Bands: 40, 30, 20, 17, 15 meter bands.
    Modes: CW, SSB, possibly FT8 in F/H mode.
    Transivers: Elecraft K-3 - 2 pcs, ICOM IC-7200 - 1 pc, FT-897-1 pc
    Amplifiers: 500 w – 2 pcs, 700w – 1 pc.
    Antennas: 20m – 4SQ, 40/30/17/15m- individual GP for each band.
    Power - 2 generators with a capacity of 3.2 kW each (1 backup).
    Information about the history of the island and news about the expedition will be posted on the QRZ.COM page https://www.qrz.com/db/R207RRC and expedition site: http://r207rrc.ru
    The online log will be available after the expedition. No internet/mobile coverage is there.
    QSL is via UA3AKO (OQRS, Direct, Bureau). We strongly recommend that you order QSL through ClubLog OQRS (direct/bureau). Please use only one method. For example, if you've ordered a QSL through ClubLog OQRS, don't send your QSL through the bureau. Save your money and manager’s time and efforts.
    We need your financial support because of the complex and expensive logistics.
    PayPal address: r207rrc@gmail.com
    To persons provided financial support before the expedition R207RRC QSL card will be sent first of all without any additional payment to the addresses listed on the QRZ.COM (if there is a call sign in the expedition log, of course).
    Information received from Victor, UA3AKO.

        Dear Victor,

        Thank you for the data concerning AS-207
        The activation of AS-207 as R207RRC is approved/validated for IOTA credit.
        The operation was very tough... the RRC team made a lot of IOTA chasers very happy. Your signals in the western US were very strong and the ops were excellent.
        .
        All the best to the team and continued success to the RRC.

        Best 73,
        Bob, K3EST
        IOTA Validation Team
