*VP8STI ONLINE LOG* <http://www.clublog.org/charts/?c=VP8STI>

 

*NEW UPDATE @ 12:00z -* At 11:00z today, VP8LP spoke with an operator at
VP8STI who reported that the intention is still to continue onto South
Georgia to operate as planned. They plan to remain QRV on Thule island for
as long as possible whilst packing up, and are as well as can be expected
under the circumstances.

 

*January 25 @ 07:20z* -  Past night two tents and most of the yagis were
destroyed by high winds. Both of their main tents collapsed partially and
the team worked very hard through the night to save them. The Braveheart
recorded winds of 70 mph (112 Kph). They are running only on

40 meters due antenna damage. Once they can assess damage they can determine
whether they can proceed to South Georgia or not. Right now they are doing
last QSO as VP8STI – they have asked the Braveheart to extract them when
it´s possible. They regret that they have fallen short of their plans ,
however the team and crew safety is most important.

 

 

Continua tudo certo para South Georgia
