 Subject: Fwd: VP8STI           Update - as of yesterday:    Greetings from the VP8STI Southern Thule Island. We are now QRV with three stations and expect more stations to be QRV shortly. Our landing yesterday was very difficult. The initial team on the island had to wear wetsuits and go onto the rocks to establish safety ropes for team and equipment. One team member and one generator went into the ocean. The team member is recovering. The generator is not. The seas are very rough which makes bringing supplies to the island very dangerous. We are  experiencing high winds and some snow. We are currently working through several critical issues: 1) Voltage sags on our three generators are causing our K3′s to experience problems. 2) We are missing parts to some critical antennas. 3) We are down one 6KW generator until the Braveheart can bring a backup generator. We are still actively raising antennas and we hope to be QRV on 30, 40 and possibly 80 meters tonight. We plan to upload logs to Clublog each day starting tomorrow. Please know that we are doing our best under very difficult conditions and we  hope to see you in our logs. Today, at 11:58z, VP8STI started operations from Thule Island, South Sandwich on 20m CW.
