  Hello DXers:
      The following email just arrived from San, K5YY.  You can see from it that the Team on Swains Island is having a terrible time continuing the operation.  It's obvious that they are barely able to function for another day or so.
      I ask that you be considerate of the conditions they are operating under and use your best behavior.  There has been far too much profanity and poor operating habits exhibited, especially last night on 15 RTTY.
    Thanks for your consideration.

  73,
  Carl, N4AA

  Joe emailed today. 
      Conditions NOT good, S9 QRN on 60m. May try tomorrow Z at announced times of 0900 to 1100Z but it does NOT look good at this time. Also, much bad weather conditions , antennas down, operators sick and tired and dehydrated and with some wounds requiring medical care. Team will likely start breaking down stations on Sunday for a possible early departure from Swaims. So, if you listen on 60m, try tomorrow at USA sunrise times or perhaps earlier like 0900Z. Nothing guaranteed and conditions receive-wide are horrible on 60m. Situation does not look for a big effort on 60m and maybe tomorrow will be only attempt before going QRT. 5W0QQ also reports to me that conditions S9 QRM today, and barely heard one station on 60m..
      Please monitor my posts on DXWorld.com and click link to 60m Log. This is the Chat Room and needs to be monitored more often. Also keep monitoring the NH8S website for late information.
      Sorry I do not have better news for the 60m gang, but Joe has been making an effort to try and get on 60m during all other hectic situations going on there. Again, an early QRT is expected. Conditions not good for the operators.
  San K5YY
