reports that the operators left on the island for the remaining days are
VU2NKS, VU3IZO, VU3RGP, VU3RSB, VU2PJP and VU2RCR. In spite of propagation
not being at its best, several solar flares and multiple power outages, the
team has logged almost 50,000 QSOs so far. "The transfer of logs to the
mainland for updating the webpage has been a problem but VU2ZAP and VU2SJD
have been working very hard to sort out the many errors and partials that
have been brought to our notice and updating the online logs. VU2ZAP has also
been diligently answering all mail regarding errors and we expect that most
of the issues will be sorted out completely". On-line logs current cover the
period 1-21 December, the next update is expected on 24 December.
