> >August and fully operational 20 August. The home page of our website
> >has a link for those who desire to check the log. Log data will be
> >posted LIVE. We will be using Club Log and OQRS. Direct QSL via
> >WA4DAN.
> >
> >Activating 60m for the first time from St. Paul is exciting for the
> >team. And, while conditions will be a challenge for 160 Meters, the
> >team is energized to give it a serious effort. Also, be assured we
> >will pay attention to the long and/or difficult propagation paths on
> >all bands when conditions are workable. We look forward to working not
> >only the more common bands CW/SSB/RTTY, but also 6m, 2m EME and
> >Satellite.
> >
> >We appreciate the donations and support by many. Even now in these
> >last days, support is most helpful and appreciated. Our sincere thanks
> >to all interested and following this DXpedition. We look forward to
> >working you. Thank you. WEB: www.CY9DXpedition.com
