[50mhz] Update - TX5K Clipperton Island on 6m

[Lance Collister, W7GJ]

Hello!

Just another update on how things are going ;-) All 5 boxes with my 6m station and 
sleeping tent have been received in California for transfer to the Shogun.  
Additionally, the crate with my generator and the two boxes for the Alpha 8406 
amplifier have also been received.   So we are on schedule to have everything 
transferred by truck to San Diego and loaded on the Shogun for our 6 day voyage to 
Clipperton, which begins on February 18.  I will be leaving Montana by plane early in 
the morning on February 18, so do not expect to have email after February 17.

I am just now recovering from 10 days of "breakthrough flu", so I should be in good 
health for the upcoming Clipperton trip and operation.   We had obtained flu shots 
last year before our departure for Niue, so this recent sickness was not nearly as 
bad as it could have been.

PY2YP has prepared an hourly VOCAP PowerPoint projecting MUF in various directions 
from Clipperton Island.   If interested, you can find a link to it on my 6m 
Clipperton web page:

Another recent development you will see described on that page is that I have 
installed the KST2ME TELNET client on my laptop to use in accessing the ON4KST REGION 
2 and ON4KST EME chat pages.  There is a chance that I MAY be able to access info 
these through the main TX5K WiFi network.  Regardless, I hope to be on the air before 
the network is operational, so please watch for me on 6m!

GL and VY 73, Lance
