   "Hi,   
   finally internet works (but very slow). We are just now on Foa island, Haapai   
   group OC-169. We try to do our best, but lots of hams dont respect, when we   
   call dedicated station. They are calling and calling.... It is very hard work!   
   Signals of EU are mostly QSBed, so it is the reason, we repeat call 2x.  Next   
   problem we found, is elektricity. We already had several breaks.   
   Over that, we continue in operation (local mosqiutos helps us during evening   
   :-). More than 1000 QSOs is in log now.

   "Well, we are on holiday here, no real dxpedition, so dx community have to   
   apologize our small (or reduced) activity. We are happy, that our 100W and   
   simple inverted Vee at 7m high do useful signal, and made hudge pileups (   
   ufffff! :-))   
   We try to keep our plans to visit Haapai and Vavau isl. All flights and   
   accomodations are confirmed, so we will see :-).   
   We travel just with two backpacks, with mentioned FT897 (with internal power   
   supply), 10m fiber mast (DX WIRE mini) and two inverted Vees.   
   experience - lots of people are calling, calling and calling, no   
   listening....  .When I try to complete some weak callsign, 3-5 stn starts to   
   call on the same frequency. Hard work...   
   Best regards, 73s to all dxers and hope to cu on bands"
