The Ducie team is still plugging away on 15m SSB and CW with a great deal of
activity on 12m SSB and CW.

Good News:

1.  RTTY should begin VERY SOON.  Possibly early Saturday (UTC) on 2Øm.

2.  2Ø m SSB activity is presently active.

3.  A 8Ø/16Øm antenna is presently being assembled and VP6DI will be heard
on these bands within the next 24hrs. (Saturday or Sunday UTC).

4.  Kan (JA1BK) was active on 2Øm CW a few days ago...Those who wondered if
they worked a pirate lucked-out!

5.  Logs:  Still no word as to when the logs are going to be updated...The
operators stand by their statement relative to the upload, but have no idea
as to when the update will take place.  They will try to get the info from
Kan, JA1BK, but original plans call for the logs not to appear until after
the operation has been completed.

6. QSL via VE3HO
