[Nodxa] CY9C Update

[Tedd Mirgliotta (KB8NW)]

CY9C UPDATE Friday Morning @ 1200Z

As of 1200Z Friday morning the CY9C DXpedition team has totaled 45,000 Q's in the log. The team is pushing hard for 50K Q's. Band conditions are average but a few Europeans were worked on 12 meters this morning. Ten meters is checked everyday and CQ'S are made on 28.395. So far there has been one day of short skip on ten. The team is using a Hygain 5 - element 10 meter monobander.

The weather has turned rotten again with rain and wind. Plans are being readied for the breakdown of the two island camps later in the afternoon on Sunday. Operations will continue until that time.

The helicopter is off the island right now. Weather conditions will determine when it returns. 

Both teams are doing well. Propagation will determine the operating strategy until shutdown. 

73,
