[OKDXA] The Latest From the "Frog Log"

[K8fu at aol.com]

2130Z: The Team has spent the better part of the past 36 hours putting  the
gear that arrived yesterday on the air.  We are now up to seven  active
stations and we'll get the 8th up by daybreak tomorrow.  This is  allowing
operations on 12M and 10M while putting two stations on  40M.

We put up another 40M vertical today and all the SteppIRs are up now  (both
verticals and beams).

We can now man 30M virtually around the  clock and we'll be watching for the
LP European opening that occurs during  the JA runs.

Because we've been so intent on getting the inter-station  LAN up and
running, we've been forced to neglect collecting the logs off each  machine
(or they would have been out of sync or worse, missing Qs on the  website).
We found the network was also susceptible to RF and it took quite a  few
torriods (and time) to correct those issues.

Now that the network  is running well, we can finally pull the logs and
upload to N1DG which will  be done sometime tonight.

We know the DX Community wants the online logs,  but getting the Island
network running was judged more important for putting  QSOs into the logs
than confirming ones already made.

We are about  three days behind the island infrastructure plan due to the
continuing  challenges of bad weather.

Thanks for your patience,

73 from the  Peter I Team!
