FO0 - Extreme heat alternating to heavy rain caused the TX5C team to
become QRV from Clipperton later than expected. The first QSO was
logged at 00.28 UTC on 9 March. The team experienced very difficult
conditions on the island. Multiple major thunderstorms caused
several problems and damages - the generators went down, the 15m
SVDA at the SSB camp was destroyed, two CW keyers and two amplifiers
died. Operations are now due to stop at local dawn on 15 March, a
couple of days earlier than planned. Sunrise at Clipperton is around
13.30 UTC. The on-line log now contains 59,669 QSOs (latest update
13 March at 23.43). The website for the expedition is at
http://www.clipperton2008.org
