[SJDXA] VP8SGI Update

[Anthony DeBiasi]

Today is day six on South Georgia Is. VP8SGI will go 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
around 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.
