Re: Topband: VP8STI rumor
NEWS UPDATE @ 21:20Z - Nigel Jolly, Braveheart owner, declared an emergency and ordered the VP8STI team to cease all operations and return to the ship. A large ice flow that had broken away due to last night’s storm starts to block the entrance to the Bay where they were camped. There was strong potential for the ice flow to prevent Braveheart reaching them. The Team is now safely aboard the Braveheart and they are moving away from Southern Thule Is. All equipment and personal gear is still on the island. They hope to return to camp site during next good weather window. Once they retrieve their equipment they could make a determination as to whether they can proceed to South Georgia to do VP8SGI as planned – VP8STI QRT ! I have all the plugs pulled out in DM52. Good luck to everyone with the prop, and the dog pile if the prop works. 73 de Milt, N5IA -Original Message- From: Tree Sent: Monday, January 25, 2016 2:04 PM To: 160 Subject: Topband: VP8STI rumor They will be active on 160CW tonight.

Re: Topband: K5P 1/25/16 on 160 meters
Hi Lou and gang, Lou thanks for the link to your K5P recording, and below is a link to a youtube video I made on Jan 16 while copying K5P on 160 meters that also includes comparison of my approximate half size pennant versus my 68 foot base loaded TX vertical for copying K5P (with noise floor set equal on them so you can instantly see the improvement in signal to noise ratio when using the pennant). I was copying K5P just fine around 09:45 UTC today (6 dB above my noise floor), but they could not hear my 100 watt station (they kept on calling CQ with numerous stations calling them but it was apparent they were not hearing a majority of them). Normally if a Dxpedition is 6 dB above my noise floor I don't have a problem working them running 100 watts, but that has not been the case with K5P (probably partly due to the big pile ups, but that was not the case this morning). Unfortunately I leave the house at 1100 UTC for work, so I always miss happy hour (sunrise enhancement).
