Happy 4th of July America from Baker Island where we will celebrate with
hot dogs and burgers.

After 9 days on Baker it’s time to think about going home.

We’ve put about 60,000 QSOS in the log. By sticking to our commitment to
keep stations on 20 meters, we have over 16,000 unique calls in the log.
Many have thanked us for ATNOs. Despite it being June we have over 1200 top
band QSOs and many European stations on the other low bands in the log. And
the use of FT8 has allowed many hams with moderate stations to get us.

We start tearing down at daybreak and plan to have 3 of the 8 radios and 5
of the 10 antennas in their boxes and on the boat by lunch.

We will operate some CW and SSB in the afternoon until dark and dismantle
more in the evening. Final shutdown occurs at our sunrise Thursday and we
must have the camp dismantled and on the boat by Thursday night.

Thanks for all the well behaved pileups

73 & Happy July 4th Holiday,
