*VP8STI ONLINE LOG* <http://www.clublog.org/charts/?c=VP8STI>

*NEW UPDATE @ 12:00z -* At 11:00z today, VP8LP spoke with an operator at 
VP8STI who reported that the intention is still to continue onto South 
Georgia to operate as planned. They plan to remain QRV on Thule island 
for as long as possible whilst packing up, and are as well as can be 
expected under the circumstances.

*January 25 @ 07:20z* -  Past night two tents and most of the yagis were 
destroyed by high winds. Both of their main tents collapsed partially 
and the team worked very hard through the night to save them. The 
Braveheart recorded winds of 70 mph (112 Kph). They are running only on 
40 meters due antenna damage. Once they can assess damage they can 
determine whether they can proceed to South Georgia or not. Right now 
they are doing last QSO as VP8STI – they have asked the Braveheart to 
extract them when it´s possible. They regret that they have fallen short 
of their plans , however the team and crew safety is most important.
