1530z: Yesterday was a fairly easy day for the K5D team. No resupply
boats, no water, gas or food to carry on our backs from the landing
cove, no antenna work to do....just work the pileups. We have begun
to modify the radio schedule to try to pick up those areas of
the world that have been obscured by the huge pileups from the
population centers of NA, JA and EU.
Also, as we approach the end of the operation, plans are being set
for an orderly departure. By the terms of our SUP (Special Use
Permit) we must vacate the island no later than the 26th. Our
current plan is to begin removing equipment and infrastructure on
Wednesday afternoon the 25th. The last night (Wednesday) we will
have three stations QRV, emphasing 80m, 40m and 30m. Departure
will resume at sunrise on the 26th.
The team is in good spirits and feels very good about what has
been accomplished from this #6 "most needed" entity. We are now
confident of over 100,000 QSOs.
