We have been running behind on 80m and decided to improve our signal. We had shipped a Spiderbeam pole for such occasion. We found a place to attach it near the water and attached wire and tuned it for 80m CW and laid out several radials. Watch for activity tonight. We were on last night and did work several EU on 80m so it should be better.
73, Craig K9CT/KH5

News K5P 15 January 2016 from W8HC
Day 4 on Palmyra Atoll--- After my 7am-11am operating shift followed by lunch, I went out on a fishing trip with 3 of The Nature Conservancy (TNC) guys- Billy, Don and Alex. Mike K9NW who is also on my operating team sharing the 4 hour on, 8 hour off schedule joined in the 4hour boat excursion as well. Billy piloted the boat while Don and Alex "fished." However, fishing here is done without rod, reel and bait as we know it. Rather they throw their rope lines rigged with large lures and hooks into the water and the boat trolls until a fish takes the lure/hook. Then the rope is pulled in with the fish. We were hoping to catch tuna but only managed to snag one wahoo. It was a great trip and I was even allowed to pilot the boat for about an hour as we trolled on the south side of the Atoll. Billy who by mere chance was born in Charleston, WV and had relatives who live just outside of Charleston for several years... small world. He kind of summed up fishing as I had never heard it... " Fishing is hours of boredom interrupted by moments of excitement...." But what a great day it was!

160m antenna has been repaired and we will be on 160 again tonight starting with our SS. The SAL30 has been erected for Low Bands.
All antennas are working well and near water. Propagation to and from has been interesting. Lots of echo and LP.
We have a SVDA aimed at EU on 20m. There was good opening this moring on 80, 40, 30 and 20m.
