Hi friends

33500 QSO are logged and uploaded on Log-online on  Feb 15th at 1614 utc

Know that the Internet flux is around 4 Kb/sec. when the system performs 
well.. If Internet doesn't perform, the crew has to consider a lot of 
cuts during the transfer;.
The messages forwarded by Serge/F6AML, pilot station cannot be open the 
most part of the time.
They decided that all rhe messages received about mistakes or so in the 
logbook will be treated when the crew will be back home.

More than ever be Patient. Thank you
You will be informed in time.
Some ones asked why the longest Beverage antenna was directed to Europe 
while the shortest ones are  directed one toward America and the other 
toward Far East Asia/Oceania.

The crew had to consider the surface of the yard  available around the 
Hotel building.
Exceptionally they were been authorized to set some parts of the 
antennas out of the yard , with some precautions but they could do only 
this :
The longest Beverage antenna is set up along a short part of a road 
directed to Europe.
One of the other is set up  from one of the Hotel floors, and goes 
accross the road to  end in the bush.
The last one , is set up  toward America, runs along the short track 
going from the hôtel to the beach.
Don't forget they had to do so also after the loss of a big part of 
copper wire which was stolen last days, as we said in a previous message..

The weather is always very hot and storms are often coming. Statics are 
annoying the traffic and the propagation is sometimes very strange.
This night focus on low bands as usually and 40m.
Even if the public AC distribution came back, there are always a lot of 
cuts and Murphy helping they always arrive at worst the moment
