Maybe this will clear things up a little. And it seems 10 days from 
yesterday was the more accurate figure:

Jim,

Their landing permission allowed them 18 days on the island, they
will have roughly one more week before they need to disassemble
their stations to be off the island within their allotted time.

If they are still on that schedule (and I've seen nothing to suggest
otherwise), they will be there for about 10 more days.

Unfortunately for us, they only have several more days, not weeks, Jim.  :-)

Good luck to all who continue to pursue them!

 antipode)

 This is a VERY well run Expedition. Great overall management, great
 techically, great operators. They are studying (and carefully observing)
 propagation, and putting their stations on bands, and pointing antennas to
 directions, that give the greatest number of hams a new country. FT5ZM is
 the other side of the world from NA, but they are putting Qs in the log on
 the most difficult bands, 80 and 160, by working the east coast around
 00-02Z, and the west coast 13-16Z.

 And they are just getting started -- as I understand it, they have several
 more weeks on the island!
