Topband: VP8ORK

[Tree]

All -

The operation of VP8ORK on 160 meters has been pretty limited thus far.  I
think the contest scared them off.  

They did appear for awhile around 0500Z the first night of the contest and 
made a number of QSOs with Europe and NA.  They had a pretty good signal
and seemed to be hearing okay.

I would imagine they will be pretty easy to work starting tonight after the 
contest.  

We were worried that the operation Saturday AM was a bootlegger as the QSOs
did not appear during the log update later in the day.  However, they have
showed up now in the recent update - so it was them.

Good luck to all of those who need it for a new one.
