2016-04-09 14:31:04Z: We've begun disassembling the antennas in anticipation
of our impending departure. Our 80 meter operations have concluded. On 40
meters, we have gone from having a 4-square to a vertical.
If you've seen the pictures of the partially-flooded area in which our
low-band antennas are placed, you may have thought it was foreshadowing
something, and you would be correct. Today, in high winds (>30 kt), light
drizzle/snow/graupel, and water up to the middle of the shins, our intrepid
crew recovered and disassembled the 80 meter vertical and 40 meter 4-square.
Tonight, we're celebrating the birthday of Alan (VK6CW, VK0LD). As we were
blowing up balloons to celebrate, a few CW contacts were made between
squeaking balloons. Despite the cold and wind outside, all is well here in
the tents.
At 1400z it was partly cloudy (4 octas), the temperature was 3 C, strong
westerly winds, and the pressure had risen to 978 mbar.
