[50mhz] 6m from TX5K

[Lance Collister, W7GJ]

Hello!

As you know, I did initially post a summary of the trip results and a few photos on 
my TX5K web page:

Tremendous thanks  to the TX5K team members who provided some of the great photos and 
video used in my TX5K 6m Power Point presentation :-)  Thanks to Barry Hansen, 
K78BWH, this presentation of 6m operation from TX5K on Clipperton Island was posted 
in photo format on the Pacific Northwest VHF Society page:

http://www.pnwvhfs.org/conference/2013/2013-Clipperton-Island-TX5K.html

The full Power Point presentation was too large to load onto the PNWVHFS website.  
However, some of the videos that were included in my original presentation are now 
available to view on YouTube:

I hope that, between the PNWVHFS photos and the YouTube videos, you can get a good 
feeling of what it was like to live there on the beach for 10 days surrounded by 
boobies!   Thanks again to all the contributors who made this very successful 
operation possible, despite the fact that we only had a couple days of good 
conditions for EME!  I hope to work you on 6m from the next rare spot ;-)

VY 73, Lance
