Hi Joe,

Yes, I have been following this trip very closely (would have been 
#298 for me on 160m) and saw that almost as it was posted. It is 
very sad and unfortunate but I am glad the team is safe. I wish them 
a comfortable trip home.

That is why the temporary HF antenna here can come down now. Not 
sure if it will happen today. It's snowing and -17ºC  here. :-\

For sure my LF coil goes on the bench to start repair and 
modification today.

73,
Paul
