VP6D ISLAND REPORT/UPDATE (October 27th) [edited].

  - We continue to operate on all bands that are are open.

  - Earlier today we took the N1MM log, merged all the FT8 logs, and
    uploaded to our log server at <VP6D.com> ~81,000 QSOs. We will do
    a complete log analysis and audit after we leave Ducie.

  - 6m EME - last night we made 3 more contacts. We will continue operating
    6 m EME on moonrise for another few nights.

  - We created an island exit plan with the skipper of the Braveheart.
    In order to make the once-a-week flight from Mangareva to Tahiti we
    will begin the tear down process as follows:

    Wednesday 31 Oct:  Remove 6 m EME antenna and 160 antenna

    Thursday 1 Nov:   Begin tear down of CW and SSB camps, antennas, etc
                      Remove all non essential equipment from the island.

    Friday   2 Nov:   Remove sleeping tents and move all DX-pedition
                      equipment to the Braveheart

                      Leave the island approx 15:00 (local)

                      Depart Ducie 18:00 (local) after stowing all equip-
                      ment on Braveheart

   Above plan dependent on the weather remaining calm.
