Update: 14-Jan @ 2100z........we have up to 4 stations operating 24 hrs/day
using 3 SteppIR verticals and one SVDA pointed toward Europe....all antennas
are resonant with radials often placed in nearby water.....intermittment
problems with the Battle Creek Special have slowed our 160m effort but a fix
is in hand.....propagation so close to the Equator is surprisingly
challenging.....we're seeing a lot of long path QSOs and weak signals from
all parts of the globe.....we all stop the pileups and try working EU
anytime there's an opening.....signals vary but are mostly surprisingly weak
and fluttery..... over 14,500 QSOs have been uploaded to ClubLog......logs
will be uploaded to ClubLog several times a day.....

updates...

160m antenna has been repaired and we will be on 160 again tonight starting
at their SunSet.  All antennas are working well and near water. Prop to and
from has been interesting. Lots of echo and LP. We have a SVDA aimed at EU
on 20m.
