Just to inform that the CQ9U/CT95S crew as departed from Funchal City

will do their best to have at least one station working as soon as
they can on the 24th. They will take more time than expected on the
trip, because they had to change boats due to an unexpected breakdown
on the engine of the main boat. This faillure delayed their departure,
but they are very happy and ansious to get into the island and start
to make some qso?s. More info in www.cq9u.com
