UPDATE / DELAYED: Pilot station RA3CQ informs he received a phone call from RT9K/P team leader UA9KDF . The group are in Nadym now and will stay there for at least three days. Apparently due to higher than average temperatures, they can’t use snow mobiles they took. Currently they are sitting in Nadym waiting for the weather forecast. In about three days they will decide what to do next. They may use a boat.
