KH7Y on magic band!
What a day! Today I was a very lucky old man working Hawaii on 6m. Fred (KH7Y) was coming LP with a signal of 57 with a lot of flutter in a half an hour opening. It was a really thrilling experience.
Here they are some post-party comments on ON4KST chat.
Cheers…to you all.

Equinox and 6m respond
Last night was a very interesting one of 6m. It was a kind of celebration of spring equinox. It was a party actually. F2 propagation offered the drinks and south America countries among other were invited. It started about 21:00z and lasted more than two hours (I do not know exactly when ended because I got to bed early). South Europe enjoyed it the most.
UPTATE: VP8NO came late to the party! Worked today afternoon. Long live magic band.

Chasing FT5ZM
FT5ZM is QRT now. They stopped transmissions a bit earlier because a severe storm is approaching the island. It seams that they will have a rough crossing back. They kept us busy for two weeks and as was it predicted they proved once more time they are a very capable and efficient crew. We all wish them a safe journey back.

FT5ZM on route…
FT5ZM on route to Amsterdam island. I worked them this morning in 28021 CW as VK6FZM/MM. They delivered a very decent signal, promising easy QSOs from the island as well.
Have a nice trip to your destination old boys.Our thoughts with you.
Update: Track their position on line here!
