[SFDXA] [FCG] VP8STI SOUTH SANDWICH ISLAND DXPEDITION NEWS (Update January28th)

[Pete Rimmel N8PR]

That is interesting about the winds and seas...

I chatted with Mike (GM0HCQ)  VP8CMH/MM last night who is a bit west and 
south of them on a British research vessel, the James Clark Ross (big red 
boat),  and the photo taken yesterday of the ship and an iceberg shows FLAT 
CALM sea and light winds!

Go to: http://www.gm0hcq.com/daily_images.htm

and click on the upper left photo.

If you go to www.gm0hcq.com

you can see Mike's entire website, which is very interesting, and if you go 
to:

http://www.sailwx.info/shiptrack/shipposition.phtml?call=ZDLP

you will to to the worldwide ship tracking web site, where you can see the 
location of the JCR on a map.

... from OpDX ...

VP8SGI team expects to arrive early tomorrow to Husvik Bay, South Georgia
Is. If everything goes well, they will be on the air tomorrow afternoon,
South Georgia time.

David, K3LP, co leader of the VP8STI/VP8SGI DXpedition, called yesterday
via satphone to Bill Hein, AA7XT. Bill tells me that "David sounded tired
but in good spirits". David reported that they received two to three feet
of snow to go along with the 70 mph winds.

VP8STI final log will be uploaded from South Georgia. Our manager N2OO,
will turn on OQRS once we get those last log files and we make sure that
the full log is complete. QSL updates will be posted on the VP8STI QRZ page.
