Some important messages from the team:

   1. North America west coast: Long path openings occur 02-04z on both 30m 
&
20m... and 12-14z on 40m through 20m (even longer on 20m, up to 16z). 
Signals
are good here but few people are calling us. We will continue looking for 
west
coast long path at these times. A brief skew path 80m opening around 13z
occurs, and we will be looking for 160m openings as well at this time to 
west
coast. Please report any other long path or unusual openings to the 
Americas.

   2. Pirates: At least two pirates were operating this past weekend on 40m.
Now that logs have been uploaded, DXers are encouraged to verify contacts
especially on this band.

   3. Generator shutdown will be shifted to 04z in future days, typically 1
hour. A longer shutdown for oil change is required on Wednesday and every
fourth day thereafter. Shutdown will be after the last North America low 
band
QSOs.

   4. Relatively poor propagation has heavily favoured Europe over Japan... 
and
North America has been even more of a struggle. DXers in Europe may be asked 
to
QRX while we try to work the weak, short openings to North America and 
Japan.
Thanks for everyone's patience. Let's hope conditions will improve.
   5. 160m CW will shift to 1821.2 to avoid a carrier bothering Europe.
