VP8SGI SOUTH GEORGIA ISLANDS DXPEDITION NEWS (Update 1615z, February 5th)...
Received form Paul, N6PSE at 16:15z:
"Today is day 8 at VP8SGI. We are pushing forward to our goal of 80,000
contacts from South Georgia Islands. The ten and twelve meter bands are
very good today.
Our biggest challenges are the high winds which are destroying our
antennas and tent and the many out of turn callers that continually call
while we are trying to work others.
We are particularly frustrated by those EU callers that continue to
call as we are trying to work to Asia/Japan.
Please let´s all show our best Ham Spirit over the next three days so
that everyone has a chance to work VP8SGI.
On Sunday, we will be seeking ATNO contacts on 17 meters SSB. We will
QRT on Monday morning.
Best wishes from the Intrepid-DX Group VP8 Team."

At this point, I want to remember to everybody that VP8 team members
left their homes past January 7th, and they expect to be back at home
around February 22th. More than 45 days out of home, working and risking
their lives in one of the hardest places of the World, trying to give
us three new DXCC countries, two of them in the highest part on the most
wanted list, in a project that exceeds 215.000$. So please, lets help
them to reach their aim following operator instructions and respecting
other callers.
Paul will try to do first six meters QSO during their afternoon and
evening time. Take a look to my spots on DX Cluster, he will call me by
Sat phone few minutes before start to call on 50.110 Khz.
