CORRECTIONS:

Allow us to first correct a typo in the message # 14 
(finances). The Northern California DX Foundation contri-
buted 20,000 $, not 15,000 $.

Please note that 3D2CU/CT Conway Reef Team have sponsored
the trip with 275 $

Message # 16 was a repeat of message # 13 (sorry for that)
and has been replaced by message CV #3, which was sent a
few hours ago.

HOT FLASH:

As promised TO0R showed up on 160 around 21:00. They had
excellent signals, but deep and slow QSB. Hundreds of 
European stations called and many worked them as well. 

At 21:30 we heard Jeff, K1ZM work them, followed by 9K2MU. 
It looked like they ahd a real ball! It is amazing to see
how many stations keep calling after the DX stations has
started a QSO (G3DBN on top of DJ2YA etc..).

It looks like now or never. Condx are great!

Go and get them.

This message is posted on the reflector while TO0R is
going strong  on 1826.5 QSX up 5.

Good luck guys!
