The K5T NA-119 team is now complete and on the way.

WX forecast looks good so if all goes well we should be on the air tomorrow around noon local time (1700 UTC).

Attached is a picture I just took from our transport vehicle and the boat owned by Mike AB5EB.

The plan is to have at least two stations on the air (one with linear amplifier). Mr. Antenna Man, Hector XE2K, has assembled phased verticals for 40 and 30m. We will use triband beam for 20/15/10m. Also, other verticals will be erected for the WARC bands. We will pay extra attention to difficult to work areas such as JA, Asia, VK, ZL, Oceania.

There was a solar flare yesterday morning which kind of disturbed the band conditions but things started to come back in normal again. So, we hope the Sun will remain calm while we are on the island. Good luck chasing us, and please behave, hi!
