DX Information:
T30ES - Western Kiribati
After spending the holidays back into the United States, with his family, 
Eric (N1JSY) returned to Western Kiribati on January 8th.  While stateside 
he met with members of his support team, sharing his adventures on the 
island of Butaritari with the Peace Corps.  Eric is planning to install a 
second antenna, an inverted V.  In addition, arrangements have been made 
for obtaining a new higher capacity battery.  This should extend his 
operating time.  T30ES operates on battery power, charged daily by solar 
panels.  Eric frequently operates Saturdays at 1400 UTC and Thursdays from 
1830 UTC around 14.288.  He is on at other times, as his work schedule 
allows.  In December, Eric used his equipment coordinating the emergency 
medical evacuation of a native having complications during childbirth.  The 
mother and child were reported doing well in a Tarawa hospital. This action 
proving that amateur radio is not just DX but a valuable resource in an 
emergency.  For more information, photographs and updates, on this 
operation check http://people.mags.net/boem/kiribati1.htm
