Excellent work by team.  Crossed off one of my final ATNOs and got a number of band fills out of 'STI.  Healthy donation sent in with my card requests....

Hopefully VK0EK is as successful.

VP8STI and VP8SGI Posts - It's like going down memory lane reading each of this pieces of information. I can remember what our team members and I were doing during each of these posts. Just sitting here on this early Saturday morning with a shot of whiskey and laughing. Our team did an amazing job from both locations. There were so many opportunities to just quit, shut it down and head for home. It was like playing an NFL super bowl game. The men all knew what was expected from them! Even with the ice cold winds, snow and ice, constant wild life noise and smell, everyone stressed, loss of weight, wind always blowing, on and on, I believe we really delivered as promised.

I want to personally thank each of you and our suppliers for helping us to make it an amazing shared adventure!!!!

Both Paul (N6PSE) and I (David - K3LP) will Co-Lead another great trip and will announce soon.

We'll see you all at Visalia and/or Dayton.

The book "Endurance" by Alfred Lansing is a superb recounting of Shackleton's epic voyage that brought his men to safety on South Georgia.

The Intrepid Team's success is proof that extraordinary courage and unyielding endurance can be found in today's world as well.

Terrific job, guys.  Admirable in so many ways!

Not bragging but when the VP8s hit my LoTW this week, they made ATNOs #299 and #300 confirmed.  TNX, guys, for all you did.  Surely there are some warm spots that we all need for next time!

If I were they, it would be South Beach, Miami, though I doubt it would be as popular a spot for the rest of us...
