Bill -- good luck!  Te Taobe is the boat that had engine trouble near T3
when KM9D/mm and KF4TUG/mm were ashore signing T30MY. They ran a mercy
mission out to the drifting boat to get medical supplies to a critical
passenger. They were subsequently voted ARRL International Humanitarian
Award winners. Since I met them in ZF in 1999 and know them, I got to write
the article on the award which will be in June QST.

Surely they did a GOOD job fixing that engine...... hi.   I hope so anyway,
can use you guys on a few bands.  73 Bruce
