The Russian radio team known as Arctic's Legends is well under way in its 31-day voyage. Their yacht, Apostol Andrey, is making its way through the challenging Arctic region so the team can fulfill its goal of completing activations from five IOTA groups in different locations. They are using what are considered rare callsigns, including RIØBU after the 18th of July; and RIØBI from IOTA Number AS-050 after the 23rd of July.
They expect to travel more than 3,500 nautical miles, covering four rare locations.
Because the operating schedule is so dependent on the weather and the sea-ice forecast, chasers are advised to follow the group's channel on Telegram and to visit their ClubLog livestream. There is a live map of their journey available by following the link that appears in the text version of this week's newscast at arnewsline.org
