PRESS RELEASE #3

This is to inform the DX community that I received today an official response to request for landing and operating from San Ambrosio Island. The relevant authorities communicated to me that they are looking into processing my application for the 2026 fishing season, which runs from September 2026 to March 2027.

In view of the above, the radio activity originally scheduled for January/February of this year must be regretfully postponed.

All the equipment intended for this operation is currently in standby on Juan Fernández Is. (CE0/Z). The cargo remains secured and sheltered on the premises of my local contact on the island, awaiting my arrival and proper deployment.

I want to convey to the DX community that I remain fully committed to bringing this rare DXCC entity, ranked #3 of the Most Wanted list, back on the air. As such, I will continue to pursue this project with professionalism and determination, seeking a successful outcome.

In regard to the support and donations received to date from sponsors and several enthusiastic DXers, each of them will be individually contacted and consulted as to the fate of their support/donation.

"It is a change of the main plann but I m still in the game"

Thank you!
