Important info from our DXpedition!
To whom it may concern:
=======================
When we had planed our DXpedition we did not expect so many problems... We 
are very sorry but we did not reach 3B6 Agalega Islands. We had many 
problems with our catamaran and either finally or happily sailed to 3B7 St. 
Brandon (Isle Rafael S16o26' E59o36') tied by the rope to the "Quo Vadis I" 
fish vessel. Our catamaran was seriously hurt (we have lost 1 of 2 engines 
and all two sails). In that situation we stayed in front of the decision: to 
stay on the island resting and waiting about a week for new boat which will 
bring us back to Mauritius or try to change our license and start to work in 
the air from 3B7 St. Brandon to fulfill promises we have given to DR OMs and 
our sponsors... We had asked ICTA about permission to start our activity 
from 3B7 by meteorologists' radio and we were very surprised when we 
obtained a new license and a modified callsign the next day! We are 
informing that the right callsign of our interrupted DXpedition is 3B7SP. 
Somewhere in our website you can find our previous callsign (3B6SP) but the 
right is 3B7SP. A webmaster is currently off the internet and we are not 
able to change this in all places (especially in the log online database 
headers). Please be patient - we will make all necessary
adjustments after coming home.
Have fun working with us in the air! We have installed 80% of our antennas 
and four stations. We are trying to work all the time except short breaks 
(lunch, dinner and generators' maintenance). We have a huge pileup but we 
are trying to make our best for you.
