We can hardly believe it has been one full week since first helo flight....we are just finishing setting up a more "permanent" living situation, as supplies from "Electra" were off-loaded today with the davit system.  One last shelter has arrived at camp to put inside the old lightkeeper's house.  There is no roof, and when it rains, we are protected from above, but, of course, the floor gets wet!  We save the rain water for attempts at bathing.  Tomorrow the helicopter arrives with the last of the water jugs.  The helicopter will also transfer loads from Lulu Bay to the light house.
We are in full DXpedition mode now with seven HF stations.  6M antenna is up.  Beverages are up.

As of 0000Z we have over 50,000 Qs in the log!  Everyone operates a minimum of 12 hours/day, often more.

After initial satellite communication issues, the Raspberry Pi-s are now uploading logs every five minutes or so, then to ClubLog.

It was 117F here today with only a very light breeze, the hottest day yet.  Everyone is healthy.  We are working hard to get everyone into the logs.
