VP8SGI SOUTH GEORGIA ISLANDS DXPEDITION NEWS (Update February 3rd)...
  Today is day six on South Georgia Is. VP8SGI will do QRT at sunrise
on February 8th.
  They are experiencing a G1 geomagnetic storm. This is greatly impacting
the higher bands. However, VP8SGI team will continue to push forward.
  The weather continues to be cold and windy. It is snowing and their
noise level is higher than usual.
  Tonight they will continue their major effort on the low bands including
160 meters.
  They are planning to be QRV on 17 meters SSB during next Sunday for
those that need an ATNO contact with VP8SGI.
  Due the difficult is being for VK and ZL stations to work South Georgia
on RTTY on 15 and 30 meters, tomorrow from 09:30 to 12:30z they will be
on 14.080 RTTY listening up only for VK/ZL and Oceania stations.
  Today they will try again on six meters. Yesterday, EA3GP was able to
listen VP8SGI signal on 50.110 SSB. Probably today they will try on 50.110
CW aronud 16:00 to 18:00z and once again around 20:00 to 22:00z. Due they
have not a beacon system, I will try to post on DX Cluster each time they
will be calling CQ.
  They are working very hard to work everyone and they hope to see you in
the log. Best wishes from the Intrepid DX Group VP8SGI team.
