Things are humming on Baker Island.  After storms, SAT phone failures,
extreme heat and a storm that damaged both our low band antennas everything
is fixed and we have over 40,000 QSOS in the log.

We are all happily working radio shifts handing out ATNOs and making
memories that will remain with us forever.

Our pilots have requested we shift our 30 mtr frequency to down 1 to 10.107
to avoid EU QRM.  We also will try FT8 normal mode on 1.840 at 09:00 UTC 3
July for East Coast USA who have been hard to work. If successful we will
stay on 160 through the night giving Eastern EU a shot.

We are still getting lots of FT8 callers using the wrong software.

Also we hope to activate 60 mtrs (FT8) on 4 July.

*Lastly because of the tides and heat we start tearing down late on the 4th
and leave Baker on the 6th*. [emphasis added by K4QR/Tony]
