======================================================================

Here is an update from the 3Y0X team, who are operating as XR9A/MM on board
the DAP Mares heading to Peter One Island.  In fact I just worked HB9BXE, on
of the team members, on 18075.1 (just before 1700Z today).
HE IS GOOD COPY ON 40 CW RIGHT NOW (2300Z 020206)

"We have been at sea since 0100UTC. Seas have varied between calm and rough
and currently are 6-9 feet. We opened the container and began organizing our
gear for landing on Peter I in a few days. We're currently on the air with
one station at 100w and are working on getting a second station up along
with two amplifiers. One antenna is up and, as soon as the wind dies down,
the second will be up as well. Everyone is OK and in good spirits. At the
time of this report we're 3 miles offshore Deception Island.
Present ETA is to be at Peter I on the morning of February 5th, weather
permitting; landing there is also a "weather permitting" issue."
