[SADXA] There's still a chance for KH1

The latest ClubLog update came in and my 30m CW and 160m FT8 QSOs aren't 
in it.  So I contacted their QSL manager.  He told me that they've had 
problems with their satellite phone, and that he won't know if all of 
the updates have been loaded or not until he sees the logs after they 
get back.  Meanwhile he advises me to make a couple of insurance QSOs.  
My reply was that I'll be on frequency anyway but that it's probably too 
late to get insurance QSOs, since the word is that they're leaving early 
because of the heat and the tides.  Here's his response, cut and pasted 
from his email:

"Jim   Thats a good idea but they are not leaving early per sa, they will
leave as planned just that they are starting to tear down a bit early and
160 will be the last to fall.

Umderstand the heat is really taking a toll on them!"

So there's still hope for those of us who are still in need.  You'll 
find me on 30 and 160 for the next couple of nights, either until I log 
the insurance QSOs or until they leave Baker Is.  If you're also looking 
for that last-minute QSO, you might have a better chance at getting it 
than you thought.  I suspect that many will have assumed that the team 
will be leaving sooner, and so won't be the pileups tonight.

GL, Jim  W9FI
