>NEW LOGS
>--------
>The new logs containing QSO data up til 06:09z on Jan 18th
>were send to the servers around 0230z. They should be availa-
>ble on the log servers in the coming hours (Sunday morning).
>We plan to have the logs updated once per day.

>US WEST COAST SPOILED!
>----------------------
>VKOIR was working W6's and W7's until quite laste on Saturday
>morning (West Coast time). They were heard working W6 and 7
>until 19:30 z. Great show. Who said they are not paying
>enough attention to the West Coast? It looked like 20 m
>was in super conditions, because they were working anything
>from W7 to VE1, including VE6 (the antipode)
>
>THE WWW PAGES AND QSL SERVER (info from Don, N1DG)
>--------------------------------------------------
>Since the start of the DXpedition the WWW pages (the
>Tribune and the QSL server in the US) have been visited
>21,944 times (YES, TWENTY ONE THOUSAND AND FOUTRY FOUR
>TIMES!). There seems to be a traffic jam on the internet...
>Fortunately no (traffic) cops to make it even worse! The
>European QSL server (back-up) has been visited 6,441 times.
>W O W ! ! !

>160 METERS ON SATURDAY 19TH
>---------------------------
>After a full evening of hardly any signals on 80 ot 40,
>VK0IR showed up on 1826.5 with solid 559 sigs at 20:35Z.
>I heard Mike, VE9AA calling, so I assume he was being
>heard in North America. At 22:45 he called QRZ W4...
>then CQ NA again.. At 22:50 the sigs are sold 579! Hope
>they make at least a few happy on the East coast (hear
>them work VE1YX, VE1PZ etc). The North American pile-up
>on 1831.5 is enormous, and Europe is behaving very well
>(except for G3SPK and DL5ANT completely ignoring
>instruction on 1822, what a shame). The Europeans who
>still them are now biting off their finger nails! At
>22:59 I went for my Phone net on 3780, and when I came
>back VK0IR was still very readable on 1826.5 at 23:30 GMT
>(QSX 1822) and still working East Coast, W8 and even W9
>I even heard them work Don, K1NG, our (North) East coast
>pilot station at 23:46. They faded out shortly later
>with ON4UN after having worked K8MFO (last QSO I heard).
>G R E A T S H O W !

>USA
>---
>We received a lot of favourable comments about the higher
>band (15, 17 20m) openings to the US East Coast.
>N4KG reported long path opening to VK0IR around 13:00 -
>14:00 z on 40m.
>VK0IR worked W6 stations on 80m LP around 15:00z
