[UPDATE] – The team continues to work on various contingencies meant to ensure that all people (three operators and one helper) and materials will be successfully landed on the rock from the first attempt. As such, in order to take advantage of the most favorable sea conditions in early morning, we agreed with Juan, the head of our logistical team, to organize everything in only one transport from Caleta Lobos to Pajaros. This will require two boats instead of one, but it also offers the advantage that drivers will be able to support each other during the landing operation. Only Juan though will remain in stand-by, day and night, during our entire activity from the island. We are also re-evaluating the type of sealed drums we need to purchase, in view of the cost and available supplies, and look into having them tested.

[MAY 20] – Cezar VE3LYC, Felipe XQ7IR, and Johan PA3EXX will attempt to operate as 3G1P from Ilotes Pajaros (SA-100 New), the only counter of this IOTA reference, between August 18 and 23.
This is a daring project, involving a number of hazards and risks, and the team hopes that island chasers and DXers at large will support their effort. Depending on the available space, the team intends to install and operate two or three stations, as much as possible around the clock, using CW, SSB, and FT8 on 10 to 40m.
More information and a call-for-support are available on the DXpedition website.
* Video below shows a previous unsuccesful attempt at trying to activate SA-100.
