Dear DX Community:

Since early this morning, we have been experiencing blizzard like 
conditions with strong winds and heavy snow fall. Some of our antennas 
have become damaged by the high winds and the snow fall is making access 
to them very difficult.  It is also increasingly difficult to re-fuel 
our generators.

Our biggest concern is our four tents, one of which has already been 
damaged by the high winds. We are in VHF communications with the 
Braveheart and we are discussing contingency plans to abort or shorten 
the DXpedition if safety requires.

The Braveheart is unable to maintain their anchor position and is moving 
out to sea. We are currently active on three stations however we are 
becoming increasingly less confident that we can maintain this activity. 
Please know that we are doing our best under extreme circumstances to 
make contacts with the global DX Community. This DXpedition has 
thoroughly tested each member physically, mentally and spiritually. We 
pray for a safe return.

We hope that we can continue however we feel the need to inform you that 
our activity may abruptly come to an end in the name of safety of our 
team and the crew of the Braveheart.

Best wishes from the Intrepid-DX Group VP8STI Team.


Thank you,

Paul N6PSE
Co-Leader, VP8STI
