C8K Update (Dec 30)
Dear friends,
It is with deep disappointment that we must inform you that due to the current security situation in Mozambique, we are compelled to postpone our planned expedition originally scheduled for departure on January 17, 2025.
After careful examination of the travel advisories issued by the US, UK, Germany, and the Czech Republic's foreign ministries—all of which have raised their warning levels and currently advise against travel to Mozambique—we have concluded that the risks associated with carrying out the expedition are too high. The safety of our members and team is our highest priority.
The situation in Mozambique has become unstable due to recent presidential elections leading to demonstrations, roadblocks, looting, and vandalism. Furthermore, a recent prison riot near the capital city of Maputo, which resulted in the escape of several thousand prisoners, only underscores the uncertainty in the region. Additionally, the owner of our planned accommodation has informed us that the situation is unclear, with supply issues and occasional roadblocks.
For these reasons, we have decided not to cancel the expedition but to reschedule it to January/February 2026. We believe that by then, the situation in Mozambique will stabilize, allowing us to carry out our project without unnecessary risks.
Regarding the change in plans, we will be contacting our sponsors individually to discuss further actions concerning their support. We appreciate your support and understanding during these challenging times. We will keep you informed of further developments and the new planning for the expedition.
C8K Update (Dec 20)
With great pleasure, we are happy to announce that after two months of communication with the Embassy of Mozambique in Berlin, we finally received our passports with visas today! There are embassies that are easy to work with, and then there are... the others. You can guess which category the Embassy in Berlin belongs to.
But the important thing is: we have the visas, we have the tickets, and we are excited for the expedition, which begins in less than a month!
C8K Update (Sep 13)
OK6DJ - Today we received LOTW certificates for C8K and 3B9DJ. Also DXpedition Logs Hosted on Club Log ready.
C8K Update (Sep 07)
The tickets have been purchased. Departure is on January 17th. Arrival at the destination and transport to the QTH in the late afternoon of January 18th. In the following days, we will gradually bring each band into operation as local conditions allow. Departure is on February 1st, so we expect to start packing up partially on January 30th and finish everything on January 31st. Therefore, on January 31st, we will probably make our last radio transmission in the morning, if everything goes according to plan.
