[South Florida DX Association] N8S Update Info

[K2EWB]

>From Bernie, W3UR

Just spoke with K3LP, Dave, at N8S on Swains Island, where the current
temperature is 108F (41C).

The first batch of N8S logs have been uploaded to
http://www.yt1ad.info/n8s/log.html .  These logs cover approximately from
1306Z April 4th until 0927Z April 6th.  The team is aware that some QSOs are
missing from that time period.  They do not know why but will check it.
Apparently they were unable to use the Satellite phone to send the logs so
they were going to use Winlink.  Winlink apparently has a limit on file
size, so they were going to have to send the log in segments.  So that could
explain some of the missing QSOs in the log search.  But don't worry they
have all the logs safe on their computers.

The 6 meter beacon is now up and running on 50080 and is pointed at VK/ZL
during the day and at North America during the evening.  The beacon does
have a CW break.  Also they are monitoring 50110.

During peak hours they are running 6 to 7 stations.  They now have about
35,000 QSOs.

Dave says he will try 10 meters (not sure if CW or SSB) starting about 2200Z
and check it every 30 minutes.  No other details at the moment.
