[ADXA] team member on VP6R shipped off due to injury

[EJ]

Hope injured op is OK. Look at the average age of the guys on these strenuous trips and it’s not surprising that there are injury and health issues.

Bernie’s info yesterday that came from W0GJ did not say WHO the team member was who had several fractures from a fall and had to be shipped off to better medical facilities via boat. Anyone know who the injured VP6 operator was? GJ is an orthopedic surgeon and I am sure tried his best to stabilize the injured operator.

 

One op friend I talked to on SSB mentioned the horrible slippery terrain, especially with recent heavy rain. The bad hill climbing is one reason WB9Z had to back out of the trip due to his bad knee arthritis pain. Some DXped climates are so difficult.

 

The T30GC ends on Wednesday. Only 3 ops and signals not that great but they try. Luckily got them on RTTY. Mainly a CW operation and only have 2 SSB Qs. The 5K0K should be closing down soon too. Have one RTTY QSO with them too but looking for a 30m RTTY Q if they get back on that band. They have only made two 24 SSB QSOs… Neither of these operations have I heard on 28mc..

Have a good week all, 

San
