Update on the K5D DXpedition February 8, 2009
Everyone arrived safely in San Juan PR yesterday; the last group at about midnight. Last night we executed a contract for a helicopter to transport our heavier items including transceivers, amps, generators and shelters.

Fifteen Team Members plus a half-dozen USFWS personnel completed UXO (UneXploded Ordnance) training this morning.

Today was spent transiting from San Juan to our team HQ hotel in Rincon PR. On the way, we stopped at the Arecibo Radio Telescope
