The boys established the station early saturday morning (15 august 2009) had good propagation
conditions.  However they endured ongoing thunderstorm cells passing by from 9pm to 10am next
 morning, making sleeping difficult. Luckily there was a big white lightning conductor nearby so
they kept operations happening. Late sunday morning the wind and rain escalated to gale force
conditions, causing abandonment of operations. During their time there, plenty of inguisitive visitors
called in to see what was happening.

Late report - Winston VK7EM at Mersey Bluff lighthouse
Same conditions as Table cape and plenty of visitors too. Looks
like this pic was taken early Saturday before the weather broke.
