Dom & friends on Conway reef are coping admirably with poor HF conditions, technology and wildlife issues.
Despite both having been tested fine before the trip, neither of the BGAN satellite data terminals is currently working so they can't upload their logs from the reef. They are showing no signal so it's possibly a satellite coverage issue.
"The birds keep damaging our antennas and taking our radios" said Dom. "It's constant work to keep the stations going. Alfred Hitchcock could have shot his movie here."
CW and FT8 stations are cracking along at good rates but they could do with more spots to generate SSB pileups - or more people tuning around!
Dom is now on 14225 (listening up 5) for the US general class callers.
