Hi all,

I am glad they are working on repairs. I worked them on South Sandwich in
spite of them being right at my noise level. From South Georgia I have had
nothing but a whisper. Hopefully this will change once they get their
repairs done. This is an all time first for me (both of them). I like their
web site, but it is missing a news section that could be updated (by the
pilots) daily or close to daily. Many other DXpeditions have had this.
