>    LAST MINUTE PRESS RELEASE BY ROB, PA5ET:" We have completed our Faroe
>    Island DX-pedition and had lots of fights with the propagation and
>    the high winds. We managed to log 26,964 QSOs in 10 days of operation
>    of which 14,041 in CW and 11,054 in SSB, 1,532 in RTTY, 300 in PSK and
>    finally 37 in SSTV from 10-160 meters although it is better to say we
>    worked mainly from 17-160 meter due to the bad propagation. The QSO
>    statistics can be found on out web-site. Despite the lots of Europeans
>    in the log we worked outside Europe every oppurtunity we had. There
>    have simply not been that many openings unfortunately. Despite of that
>    we are very happy with the result. The on-line logs have now been
>    finalized so all QSOs should be visible on our web-site. The LLDXT
>    web-site will be updated in the coming days with pictures and
real-audio
>    files. I like to thank the Europeans for the many times they had to
>    QRX to allow us to work the 'rare' DX, a great example it can be done
>    regardsless what other DX-peditions say. All QSLs will be handled by
