TX5N ---> The team has been QRV from Raivavae (OC-114), Austral Islands
since 17 April at 06.40 UTC. They are making about 4,000 QSOs a day. "Inter-
net on the island is erratic and very slow", the team reported on 20 April.
"We are having difficulty uploading anything more than short emails. Our
satellite service provider has a problem on their end, with no resolution in
sight". They are also experiencing constant high winds, gusting to about 55
km/h: "one hexbeam guy rope that was secured to a small tree stump pulled
the stump out of the ground and down came the hexbeam, one fiberglass
spreader broke. Time to remove and replace the broken spreader with a spare
part was about one hour. We had to wait for a break in the wind to restore
the antenna to its fully extended height. The worse news is the 160m antenna
is exhibiting a high SWR, faulting the amplifier at about 300 watts". QSL
via M0URX (see https://tx5n.net/qsl-manager/ for the QSL policy). Please
refrain from emailing the team about busted/missing calls: "we are not
checking for missing or busted calls from the island. Please work us again
if you don't see your contact in the log. After the DXpedition M0URX will
research missing/busted QSOs".

+ SILENT KEY + Einar Enderud, LA1EE passed away on 11 April, aged 79. Back
in January-February 1987 he and Kare Pedersen, LA2GV conducted the first
ever operation from Peter I Island (3Y1EE and 3Y2GV). He participated in the
December 1989-January 1990 DXpedition to Bouvet (3Y5X), and operated also as
FO0EEN from Tubuai, Austral Islands (December 1998-January 1999).
