This is probably on the KH1 website but thought I would throw this out.  
Just got off the phone with Rick, N4HU in Fiji.  They have the boat 
loaded with all the equipment, several tons of it. The boat will be 
leaving and going to American Samoa.  Should take about 4 days to get 
there.  Rick and the guys will be flying to Western Samoa first and then 
on to American Samoa to meet the boat.  You may be wondering why they 
had to do this but I will leave that for the program that Rick will 
hopefully give us at a club meeting.  He said everything is going 
according to plan right now.

Once they depart American Samoa on the boat it should take about 4  1/2 
days to get to KH1.  He said the tracking program should be up and 
running on the KH1 website so you can track the boat.  Rick said he 
would call before they left American Samoa heading out of port.

This should be a good one although not at the time of year they would 
have liked but Fish and Wildlife gave them the time frame they had to 
abide by.  I have heard that Fish and Wildlife is going to limit the 
time between operations on American island they control.  I want to 
recall something like 12 years between trips but I may be speaking out 
of  turn so Rick can give us an update on that.  That being said you 
don't want to miss it on any band or mode you might need.  When I hear 
from him again I will pass along any date.  The KH1 website should be 
getting updated regularly.
