I am webmaster of VP8STI/VP8SGI, Tnx!!
FYI:
Just I received this email from Paul N6PSE:
Greetings from the VP8STI Southern Thule Island.
We are now QRV with three stations and we expect more stations to be QRV
shortly.
Our landing yesterday was very difficult. The initial team on the island had to
wear wetsuits and go onto the rocks to establish safety ropes for team and
equipment. One team member and one generator went into the ocean. The team
member is recovering. The generator is not. The seas are very rough which makes
bringing supplies to the island very dangerous. We are experiencing high winds
and some snow.
We are currently working through several critical issues:
1) Voltage sags on our three generators are causing our K3's to experience
problems.
2) We are missing parts to some critical antennas.
3) We are down one 6KW generator until the Braveheart can bring a backup
generator.
We are still actively raising antennas and we hope to be QRV on 30, 40 and
possibly 80 meters tonight.
We plan to upload logs to Clublog each day starting tomorrow.
Please know that we are doing our best under very difficult conditions and we
hope to see you in our logs.
Best wishes from VP8STI.

Just worked VP8STI on CW for an all time new one, just two to go for top of the
honor roll. Only took 59 years. :-)
They are planning RTTY operations but haven't heard them yet. Here is a link to
their frequencies for the different modes (scroll down):

An excellent web site by the way. Congratulations to the designer.
They will be uploading logs to ClubLog tomorrow.
GL and see you in the pileups.
