They say it never rains on Baker. At midnight giant squalls came through knocking out one of our 3 antennas 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.
