Jon,

I just had a brief contest contact with H40XX on 15 meter SSB at 1200 UTC 
(Saturday). The bad news is that Nick says he's having problems with the 
160 meter antenna and will be leaving H40 land for home in a few (4-6) hours.

The good news is that he says he will return someday. I don't know when but 
it sounded like soon. I guess we will have to wait. He told me he'd EMail 
me when her returns to Australia.

I'm sure this is a financial burden on Nick. Hopefully the many HF contacts 
he made will bring him some donations to help offset the loss.

73,

Joe, W1JR
