Dear Fellow IOTA Chasers,
I hope this message finds you well. As you may know, our team has been working tirelessly to activate Sacrifice Rock, AS-161, a rare and highly sought-after IOTA. However, we’re facing a critical challenge that threatens the success of our project.
Despite our efforts, we’ve been unable to secure significant funding from major DX foundations. This has left us with a substantial shortfall, and we’re now relying on the support of the IOTA community to make this activation a reality.
That’s where you come in. We urgently need your help to cover the costs of equipment, logistics, and contingency planning. Every contribution, no matter how small, counts. We’re offering free OQRS to anyone who donates $10 or more.
Our team still needs to purchase essential items, such as high-power generators, amplifiers, band-pass filters, and more. Additionally, we’re facing uncertainty with our boat transportation due to the fishing season, and we may need to opt for helicopter services as a contingency.
I know that many of you share our passion for IOTA activations and understand the significance of Sacrifice Rock. That’s why I’m appealing to you directly. Please consider supporting our project with a donation. You can find more details on our website: https://vu2rs.com/au2v , and you can donate via PayPal: sarath@lven.in.
I want to thank you in advance for your support. Together, we can make this activation a success and bring AS-161 to the airwaves.
Best regards,
Sarath, VU2RS
Team Leader, Sacrifice Rock AS-161 IOTA Activation
