==================
FLASH:

I just saw a copy of an E-mail from the VP8STI guys.   They had a very 
very difficult time landing due to huge waves. One of the people in the 
team fell into the ocean but was rescued. They lost a 6KW generator. 
They are working now to setup more antennas.

Here are some of the points from the e-mail

They are missing parts from some critical antennas

They are experiencing voltage sags from their generators

Right now they have only one 6Kw generator for the whole operation

They still don't have any antennas up for 40, 80, or 160 but they hope 
to have them up by the end of today == that is today their local time.

This Email I am referencing was sent out from Paul N6PSE who is one of 
the leaders of the DXpedition. It was sent at 10:15AM Central Time.
