KL7DX (NA-234) – July 23 & 24 Update
July 23

The following updates are from Teresa Laxfoss, Vessel Manager: P/V Lady Gudny, skippered by the owner (and her husband) Capt. Kristjan B. Laxfoss.
Update 1 (02:14z)
E-mail received at noon today states that they are in Skiff Cove. New ash accumulations, foggy with 1 mile visibility. There is a low rumbling in the distance from Cleveland. They state that they are going to the beach and will camp until Sunday, and will have HF ham radio station.
I will report more after radio schedule tonight.

Update 2 (03:27z)
Time now: 19:24 AST on 7/22 ~ Capt. Kristjan on the Lady Gudny reports that the expedition team went on shore at noon today. By 17:10 they had set up camp and the expedition flag was flying. They are starting to transmit, and hopefully receive at this time. Cleveland continues to rumble but the Captain reports that the ash has subsided.
All is well and hopefully some of you are talking to them as of this writing.
Best regards,
Teresa

If you managed to contact KL7DX or perhpas recorded the team operating, would be great if you could send an audio recording – this can then be embedded on site, with credit given.
Thanks!
*It should be noted KL7DX was active today (July 23) on 14260Mhz approx 08z, working EU.

7/23/08 19:30 AST I understand that the team were successful in transmitting last night, however had some equipment break down today. They went from a strong signal down to 100 watts. Capt. Kristjan states that they have now put up a new antenna.
They experienced light winds last evening, which made for a bit of a lack of sleep, but they remain determined. I am in contact with the Observatory throughout the day, by phone and email. The volcano is still active, but I am told that, in there present position, it appears that they are in no danger and all is going well.
Best wishes to all,
Teresa
