Further delay for Johnston Island trip

Skipper of the USSV Dharma, Susan Meckley, W7KFI,
who was expected to depart sometime last week for Johnston Island
(OC-023, USI OI-006), has once again postponed her departure.

Susan informs OPDX (as she apologizes to everyone) that it seems to look "like one hell of a hurricane season...." heading her way from the Mexican area.

She states, "If there is a two week lull I will depart for KH3, but it looks like I am stuck in Honolulu till the end of the season.

"In any event, propagation is much better in November than in July/August anyway. I guess the tooth ache that brought me back to Honolulu was good after all...."

She also mentions that she does not want to get stuck on an island that has a 5 ft. elevation during a hurricane storm surge and everything goes underwater.
