Few days ago, the Czech members of the Antarctic Expedition to Nelson Island were in Punta Arenas, Chile, waiting for a Brazilian ship to take them to their destination. That morning the host of Studio 6, expedition leader Václav Pavel, described in a live broadcast, what awaits them on Nelson Island.
Dr. Vaška Pavel from the Czech Antarctic Foundation, remind the followers that yesterday, the Team: 8 members (1 woman and 7 men, including 3 scientists from the Faculty of Science of Masaryk University and 2 from the Ukrainian National Program) boarded the Polar Ship Ary Rongel of the Brazilian 
Antarctic Program, which will set sail this afternoon Jan 2nd 2024, heading Antarctica.

While wishing them the best numbers for the new year, WAP wish the Team a good trip and a good stay down there… Weare radioamateurs and our real wish is that … some days, berore too long Echo Nelson Base WAP CZE-Ø1 and Johan Gregor Mendel Station (WAP CZE-NEW) could be heard on air!
A video from Mendel Station (WAP CZE-NEW) show how is the Base … perhaps the only thing missed is a radio operator to put on Ham bands, this rare and never worked Czech Antarctic Base!
