[SixClub] Re: Swan Island DXpedition update

[Bill Dzurilla]

The boat is repaired and we leave for Swan at 1200z on
Sunday.  Arrive early Monday.  We will have a maritime
mobile op on HF and LEOs all day tomorrow.  Moonrise
at 2030z on Monday and we will be on 6 and 2 eme then.
 Will try meteor scatter on Tuesday morning after
moonset.
