    • Log updated until early this morning.
    The highlight is the vertical 40/15m that is on the beach with fantastic performance.
    Only 4 operators are left. PY7RP had to return home because of his father health problem.
    40m is leading followed by 20 meters and 15 meters.
    Today we will pay more attention to 17 and 12 meters.
    The generator is working great feeding the 3 stations.
    The 3 elements yagi was converted to a 20 meters monobander.

    • The team arrived last night in Nova Vicosa (PY6). For personal reasons Leo (PP1CZ) had to give up.
    Internet connection works well but there is no guarantee that it will work in the island.
    The boat will leave mainland at 12:00 UTC for a 1 hour trip. No start time could be established.
