11-member expedition will be there for about three months, and the

for another four-month tour and will resume operating as VQ9JC.
However, he does not know yet how much of his four months will be
spent there, as his ship will be leaving the island in a few weeks.
If the ship is reassigned to another port, this would likely be his
final chance to put out VQ9. Usually Jim cannot be QRV before 12
UTC, and his operating time tends to run about 85% CW, 10% SSB, and
5% digital, mainly on 10-80 metres. He must QRT by 16.30 UTC on
Sundays through Thursdays, and by 17.30 UTC on Fridays and
Saturdays. "I will occasionally stay overnight to work early morning
DX", he says, but "even if I do stay overnight, I have to QRT by
about 00.50 UTC". QSL via ND9M, direct or bureau. [TNX ND9M]
