We are super busy, Updating Clublog once a day is all we got time for.
The 160 m antenna (actually 160 - 10) is at the water's edge -- a good
location. Two of the higher bands antennas are up on a berm but these
stations run 100 W only.
We have built yesterday a DHDL for RX but we need to move it away from the
generators as it is picking up generator noise. I hope to improve our RX
capability within a couple of days.
Last night we worked CU two hour after our SS -- not the same as EU, but it
suggests that there is a small chance. At our SR we were on 160 for EU SS
but only got as far west as R7. Will keep on trying. I
have been amazed by the huge difference between signal strengths on 160
and 80 m. The same stations that are barely detectable are 599+ on 80! It
can not be just their antennas. For sure November would be better for TB,
but...
Keep Trying!

I'm sure that George is doing the best that he can, with what he's got.
With so many players in the game (including the non-ham scientists that
accompanied them), it must be tough trying to keep track and control of
everything going on!
Being on the west coast and thus closer than many to Jarvis, I've been
astonished at how well they have radiated on both 160m and 80m; at
least, to SoCal. Seems to me that the weakest signals have been on all
of the higher bands, but that's likely because propagation to Jarvis
from the desert of SoCal just hasn't "bounced" quite right for those
bands very often.
