The DX'pedition to Agalega did not reach the destination due to their
catamaran sustain severe damage en route.
Here are some details
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------
When we had planed our DXpedition we did not expect so many problems...
We are very sorry that we did not reach 3B6 Agalega Islands. We had many
problems with our catamaran and either finally or happily sailed to 3B7
St. Brandon (Isle Rafael S16o26' E59o36') towed by the "Quo Vadis I" a
fishing vessel. Our catamaran was seriously damaged (we have lost 1 of 2
engines and all sails). In that situation we decided to go to St Brandon
3B7 instead to fulfill promises we have given to DR OMs and our
sponsors... We had asked ICTA about permission to start our activity
from 3B7 by meteorologists' radio and we were very surprised when we
obtained a new license and a modified callsign the next day! We are
informing that the right callsign of our interrupted DXpedition is
3B7SP. Somewhere in our website you can find our previous callsign
(3B6SP) but the right is 3B7SP. A webmaster is currently off the
internet and we are not able to change this in all places (especially in
the log online database headers). Please be patient - we will make all
necessary 
adjustments after coming home.

Have fun working with us in the air! We have installed 80% of our
antennas and four stations. We are trying to work all the time except
short breaks (lunch, dinner and generators' maintenance). We have a huge
pileup but we are trying to make our best for you.

The log online will be done after the expedition. I know that this is a
drawback but there is no way to send big file to place logs on line.

Please feel free to use this any way you like to spread the word.
