 I received a message from JA1BK who spoke to  the operators last night, W7
 time:

 160m tonight or tomorrow morning

 40m 75m will start 1000Z.  For Europeans, we know what their best times are
 for the low bands, and we are trying to adjust low band operating times.

 28CW today

 17m SSB today

 We are trying to change the RTTY frequency from 15 meters to 20 meters so
 that Europe will have an opportunity.  If you have already worked VP6DIA on
 RTTY please do not work them again for a second band.  Please give Europe a
 chance.

 There is no information yet on when they will close down;  that decision
 has to be made by the operators and the master of the Braveheart.  It will
 depend on weather and airline schedules.

 We are doing what we can to make sure that Scandinavia and Norther Europe
 has a better time frame and a chance to make contacts.

 All messages of congratulations and complaints have been read and we are
 trying to fine tune the operation to meet everyone's needs.

 There will not be an on line log until after the operation.

 Again, DJ8NK is the European pilot.  He is completely informed and is
 closely working with JA1BK  and me to solve problems.
