You popped up on 12 and 40 SSB and I missed you. Any chance for another
opportunity before you QRT?

N5J was on 160 from 0450 to 0530 last night with reduced power. We reduced
power due to issues with the 160 m antenna, which we have shortened to
reduce danger to birds. Birds have entered a very active season on the
island and we try to minimize out impact. Tonight (Aug 20) we will be back
on 160 with full power at 0500 - 0600 and then later at 0800 Z. Note that
this will be our last night on the air.
