Dear friends

        However, I just looked up the current tropical depression forecast from
Reunion Island (FR5) current as of 1200Z today and found the following:

"Il n'y a pas de depression tropicale actuellement en cours sur le Sud-Ouest
de l'Océan Indien."

Translation:  There is not currently any tropical depression heading for the
Southwest Indian Ocean.

        Hopefully this means they may not have to leave as early as Monday!
Good signals here last evening peaking S7 from 0200-0210.  I heard stations
as far West as Texas, Arkansas and Iowa calling.  Hopefully condx will repeat
and let's hope Riki can through the disturbances to his East.  The following
map helps explain why he is having trouble hearing until daylight kills
the QRN to his East:
