T2TT TUVALU Expedition

[BJ radionut]

Heard from Dean KW7XX member of Operating Team: 0:26z 11/27/2015

"Hey Gary . Tough going so far. 2 serious tropical depressions destroyed what we had on the air. We now have relocated antennas....repaired them and are ready to go. Right now as I write there is no propagation. So toward our sunset...(6 hrs from now) things will pick up.
Barring any other problems we should be on the air with 3 stations (the other equipment arrived last night).
Please understand ( we were hammered by winds 40 to 50 knots for first 2 days)
Things are better today winds are down but low band operation is severely hampered by lightening and radar.
Also Internet is really sketchy. Only up a few hrs a day.
We will try and I do mean try to upload to club log tonight. Night is the only time you have a fighting chance to get large files out."

(W9FNB) So appears it has been a rocky start for the Team. They are working hard to get fully operational.
I thought I would pass this along for any op's looking to get them in their logs.
Wishing them Good Luck!
All the Best
Gary/W9FNB
