[SJDXA] Vp8 just in

[N2OO]

Today is day 8 at VP8SGI. We are pushing forward to our goal of 80.000
contacts from South Georgia Islands.   The ten and twelve meter bands are very good today.
   Our biggest challenges are the high winds which are destroying our antennas 
and tent and the many out of turn callers that continually call while we are trying to work others. 
We are particularly frustrated by those EU callers that continue to call as we are trying to work to Asia/Japan.
  Please let´s all show our best Ham Spirit over the next three days so that everyone has a chance to work VP8SGI.
  On Sunday, we will be seeking ATNO contacts on 17 meters SSB. We will QRT on Monday morning. 
  Best wishes from the Intrepid-DX Group VP8 Team.”
 
     At this point, I want to remember to everybody that VP8 team members left their homes
past January 7th, and they expect to be back at home around February 22th. More than 45 days
out of home, working and risking their lives in one of the hardest places of the World, trying to give
us three new DXCC countries, two of them in the highest part on the most wanted list, in a project
that exceeds 215.000$. So please, lets help them to reach their aim following operator instructions
and respecting other callers. 
 
     Paul will try to do first six meters QSO during their afternoon and evening time. Take a look 
to my spots on DX Cluster, he will call me by Sat phone few minutes before start to call on 50.110 Khz.
