The KH1 crew will start teardown earlier than planned. FT8 operation on Top
Band is planned. EC USA and Eastern EU take note. Details below.
Good luck. - Steve WB6RSE

2 July Update – 1400z Update
<http://www.kh7z.net/2018/07/02/2-july-update-1400z-update/>
"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.
Don"
