*There is a strong possibility that we will have two or three stations
on the air tonight -- smack in the middle of Super Bowl XLIX!*
The team on the island reports strong winds, very hot temperature, rats
as large as cats, scorpions, Black Widow spiders, and some Haitians.
Despite all that, progress is being made building the camp infrastructure.
After the last flight today, there will be eight Team Members on the
island leaving six still in Jamaica. Our last Team MemberGeorge AA7JV
<http://69.89.25.185/%7Etrexsoft/t-rexsoftware.com/k1n/images/headshots/aa7jv.png>and
"Electra" remain in port in Jamaica awaiting improving weather.
