Starting to Bump out (This bulletin released 21/5/00 05:30 UTC - 3:30pm Willis time)

 

Low-bands - Nick did an all-nighter last night till sunrise AM and then slept till midday. He's been a tower of strength.

6M - We were still working JA's on 6 (also Taiwan/ Singapore/ Guam / Hong Kong/ and the Phillipines beacon was L/C) till 1am local, when the eyeballs refused to cooperate further.  The 6M station is now QRT.

WARC - The WARC station is QRT.

HF - One HF station is QRT whilst the second HF station will stay on air until local AM Monday.

Logs - The hand written 6M entries are being computerised at the moment, but it will take some time.   Please also note that logs do not include RTTY, yet.

Dinner Party Tonight - The MET Buro guys are putting on a dinner party for us tonight so spirits will be high :-)

De-rig - Packing going well, although moving a ton of gear with 2 people is not what you call fun!

Complete Log - This will be available in due course.  Information will be posted on this site and to the VK9WI e-Group mailing list.

We hope this DXpedition has given you a new country on at least one band.

The group is considering the activation of other VK9 islands in the future and generous support of this DXpedition will help those plans come to reality.
