Presently we have stations running on 17 m SSB, 30 m CW, and the 20 m SSB station is firing up. IT status on the island is nominal. This afternoon we raised an 80 m vertical and made progress on the 160 m vertical, but high winds prevented us from raising it, even with a few king penguins coming over to help. Weather: Foggy, 5.5 C (42 F), wind NNE at 6 m/s (12 kts) gusting to 10 m/s (20 kts).
Status Updates provide by Bill, AE0EE
Have any antennas been erected at the West Coast end of the island?

Spit Bay will be activated in about 1 week. I will update the VK0EK.ORG banner to indicate when they are on Spit which is the West Coast facing QTH
Tnx. Will try other end until then. N6DQ
