Hi all, I am glad they are working on repairs. I worked them on South Sandwich in spite of them being right at my noise level. From South Georgia I have had nothing but a whisper. Hopefully this will change once they get their repairs done. This is an all time first for me (both of them). I like their web site, but it is missing a news section that could be updated (by the pilots) daily or close to daily. Many other DXpeditions have had this.
