[Elecraft] OT (sort of, but they use all Elecraft gear): Baker Island

[Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft]

Also look at: http://kh7z.net/
This appears to have the most real time official info.

They are running all K3S transceivers and KPA500's on all HF bands except 160, 
where they are running a KPA1500.

A Rough Night -> Standby for Uploads – Weather: 1, Operation: 0
June 28, 2018

We did get 3 stations up and running last night,  one day ahead of schedule.

They say it never rains on Baker.  At midnight giant squalls came through 
knocking out one of our 3 antennas that we worked so hard to get up. We worked 
through the morning and have 6 stations available for the scheduled startup 
tonight at 05:00 UTC.

Tomorrow before it gets too hot we will erect 2 more antennas making 8 stations 
available as the bands allow.
The team is exhausted but excited about settling in and making QSOs around the 
globe. We are experiencing minor IT problems, and as such have not uploaded to 
ClubLog. We do plan on making our initial upload via BGAN satellite soon, 
however at this time, we do not have an exact time.
