Dec 23, 2014 – you replied that “investor” need 12,600 USD for transportation. Dec 23, 2014 – I said that I am not interested to pay 12,600 to join you. Jan 15, 2015 – YOU called me and asked to join you if I bring all the equipment, antennas and pay for my transportation from Russia to the Isla del Cocos. I negotiated a deal with Spiderbeam to support us with Spiderpoles, their request was placing a logo on the QSL card and website, which you agreed to. Never happened. You screwed your sponsor. Nr.2 you have no idea what was my agreement with local matador. Really? Do you believe that after five years of friendship with local matador I’m still clueless of everything you lied to him about? Nr. 3 you forget to mention that right after expedition I donated to local matador GXP antenna (not Buddipole like you mentioned) simply check pictures on the web page. Coaxes. Wires, power cords, tables, chairs plus 100 other small shit worth a lot of money. You dumped that garbage at his house, not donated it, not because you wanted to help a local ham, but because it was excessively expensive to bring that crap back! You promised him to cover the shipping charges you applied to the company’s account he worked at. Never happened. Lied again. Do not forget over $5000 USD trip for local matador. I paid this. Not you! Bullshit again. His ticket cost was 2,600 USD. He offered to cover $1000 cost for radio shipping on the very beginning stage and looks like you did not know about that. He offered this as his investment to join me on this trip. Are you for real? The guy was the only reason you got all the paperwork done and your bullshit promises to Rangers (you never fulfilled) worked and he is “joining YOU”? During Ti9 operation, I made agreement with local rangers. Oh, right. What happened to those promises you did before the operation? The ones you were publishing on your website, asking for support from donors. “Important repairs of HF and VHF marine safety system”, “new HF antennas”, “new VHF antennas”, “new Marine HF Radios will be installed”, “new power lines for all radio equipment”, “Several repairs around towers and marine HF station”. Do you remember those promises? How many of those you actually fulfilled? If they will let me come back next year, I would like to donate VHF equipment to them, as they had no communication on the island.... Well... They said ok let us do it. Unfortunately when I sent my application 8 months after... I find out that my application rejected because they require full 12 months after last activity for reapplying. Well... You already had your license in hands without saying anything to me... Ti9/ra9usu... Therefore, I decided not to go plus my family issues that time. Let us do some time check… TI9/3Z9DX happened during February 2015. Two month later on April 28, you invited me to TI9 again on July (just three month, not eight, after the first trip) telling me that there is no cost involved, but the transportation from Moscow to San Jose, CR. Only thing you need – for me to help you with the solar power repeater installation on top of the hill at Cocos. I agreed on those conditions. Even though I was absolutely against travelling with you because of your boat operation. However, I thought that I would make it out for those, who worked your fake contacts. On April 28, you said that you applied for TI9A, but could not get it. You applied for the new licenses, including mine TI9/RA9USU because you knew, that you cannot apply for the same call same year. You disappeared for two months! On June 26, 2015, you wrote me a message, which literally said: “I’m working to try changing my plans – I was sure that this fucken ministry of communication will not give us permit again as they told 20 days ago”. You knew that you got license to my call! July 4 I told you that I got nonrefundable tickets. July 8, seven days before the departure – you started telling me that you have problems. I offered you to pick up your equipment and deliver it to Cocos. On July 10, FIVE days before the departure you suddenly wrote: “Can you buy or get related and handy shit in Russia? I will pay you. Repeater, radios”. Within FIVE days I purchased: VXR-9000R repeater, Duplexer MDF1-6VH, Standard Horizon HX-300 (8), Hardigg Pelican MAC Rack Shock Mount Case 4U, Collinear phased two folded dipole antenna TC160D2-6, Monocrystalline Solar panels (2) CHN100-36M, Tracer 2215 charge controller, Optima battery Type 31 (2), wires, connectors. I paid 5,200 USD for the things you asked me to purchase! Paid another 600 USD for overweight and oversize! I told you, that if it had been at least two three weeks advance notice of your disappearance – it would have been much cheaper. Nevertheless, you gave me FIVE days! Well... Dima went alone and got upset with full knowledge that I have no possibility to get license. Your message on Sept 11, 2015: “Dima, I didn’t go to TI9 again because I had family issue and had to spend a lot to keep my Mother in law alive in Brazil – cancer”. You applied for the license, not me. I was operating with your call – no problems, you said it would not be any issue to use mine this time. I told you if you go to TI9, just buy equipment for rangers and this is 100% true! My budget for this VHF radios and used Motorola repeater was 1000 - 1500 USD... Do you realize that you are dreaming, if you think you can do standalone repeater system with 1,500 USD? You have to get a reality check! Well again. Dima sent me quotation for $5000 or more… That he spent for VHF radios and repeater. Interesting... Why you did not put 8000? Or 20k? I did not send you any “quotation”, I sent you the list of equipment I purchased on your behalf. It was your project and your obligations. Dima! You went there not me! So if you went there you should support them right? Of course he did. However, I also sent him PayPal for $1000 donation for this project even I did not go. I took off 2,000 USD off that and you agreed on Sept 16, 2015 to “Dima, I will try to get 3,500 USD to you asap”. One year later, on Sep 15, 2016 you send me 500 USD. Total amount of reimbursement was 1,000 USD. Hmm… let me think here for little bit... did you try me to cover your trip with my donation to Rangers? It is not going to happen! My trip with donations to Rangers? My trip should have been only HELPING you, not doing everything FOR you! If you promised to Rangers installing the 2M USD worth of equipment and asked me to help you installing it, should it meant that IT IS MY TRIP and I have to pay for it now?! I crawled on the hills, doing YOUR promises. You see Dmitry I am the person who not let people play with me around. This is why some hate me so much. I follow my shit not what people telling me to do. I know exactly what kind of person you are! You are disgrace of the Hobby of my Life. Most of the people, who “hate you so much”, must be feeling the same thing as I do. Nobody really gives a crap what shit you are follow, unless you spreading that shit onto everyone. 3y0g story! Do not even start. Simply ask Les SP3DOI. He was part of this project on very beginning and this is Les, who asked me... “Dom let's step back from this nonsense”. Mark 3Y0G had not even clothes to go to Germany from Belgium… So, do not talk about Bouvet please. I decided to do it myself. We simply went out from his project losing a lot of money our self as each of us paid $2000 deposit to boat owner and he refuse to pay back. On August 1, 2016, I found Mark, ON4WW application for call sign renewal on NPI website. Therefore, I wrote him an e-mail. To my surprise, he wrote to me “I was a bit surprised by your mail, as I thought we were going to form a small team and set sail for Bouvet in December. Dom told me he talked to you earlier today to clarify things”. I told you that I would not go with you! You lied to him that I agreed to come with you and you manipulate him to your endeavor. Then you disappeared and showed up only one month before the departure. So usual. With nothing, but blame and cancellation. While you already planned the escape, getting your own license. About my 3Y0I plans, dates, too late, too early? It is not your problem, what the plan was, why we went there so late. There is many reasons for that, but again ... you have no idea about. As I told you before – I could not care less what you do and where you go. As long as it is not endangering other people’s lives. There is always two sides of the medal In your case, it is always a tail and whatever is underneath of it. This is first time I made comments on your actions. You are talking shit about me from last 5 years because I did not support your trip to TI9? Well actually, I did… I open the closed doors for you and you used my contacts and finally you received 1000$ donation from me on PayPal, even I did not go to TI9 for the second time. Reality check again, Dom. I was and will always say that “shit” about you. That “shit” is the truth. You cannot be trusted. Not with money, not with your “P5 operation”, not with your 3D2CR 440 contacts per hour (around 300 contacts per hour for several hours straight) on FT8 with the single radio. With 6 meters high antenna for 80m and +2DB levels on East Coast. You are the crook and liar. Not everyone is realizing that your “Mega DX pedition honor roll” is a fake! Every DX-pedition before and after yours made 200 contacts on FT8 per single radio at one or two instances! You are the best, right. From that day, Dima is trying to attack me, but not only me... some other expedition leaders as well. Did I ever attacked you? Do you mean warning people about your dishonesty is an attack? That day you mean you screwed me with money? Or maybe it was the day you disrespected the Radio? The day you jumped on that boat and started operation from it? “Some other expedition leader” knows exactly the reason we have a different routes. Not because of his “leader qualities”, but for the very personal reasons. If you want to know a bit more about your friend – just go to Facebook. Search for Rebecca Collingham post on February 22, 2018. That is exactly what I think about “other expedition leader”. |
