1. They decided that they will basically use 40m
Inverted V
for 40m and 75m.
2. They will try to utilize the 80/160m vertical which
VP8 team has left in the Braveheart for Ducie team.
3. They are asking all the stations on SSB to call
with a
full callsign, NOT BY LAST TWO LETTERS.
They left Pitcairn at 01:00Z on Mar.15.
So they should reach Ducie around 07:00Z
on Mar.16(SAT).
Kan said that it would not take long before
they start QRVing on 14.195MHz after they
arrive on the island.

0700Z is the middle of the night. I doubt very much that they will set foot
on the island until well after sunrise, which is around 1440Z. Add a guess
for how long it will take to get basic survival stuff ashore, and then set
up a station.
