Weekly email upate distributions has ended. Apparently it is more convenient for people to mark my emails, that they signed up to receive, as spam versus just selecting the unsubscribe link. That caused my provider to suspend my account. Sorry for the inconvenience to the rest of you.

A quick note about FT8, QSOs, and QSLs.
FT8 — Given the exponential increase in QSOs now that I started in FT8, if the system did not log our contact, we will have to try again another time. I apologize, but I phyisically do not have enough time in the day to review screenshots and logs in the hopes for me to confirm the contact. We get to live another day in hopes for better band conditions to tx/rx.
QSOs — If we have already worked on a specific band and mode please refrain from calling again unless neccessary to allow new stations a better opporunity to be heard and get their first contact with Wake Island. There is no extra credit given for duplicate contacts in the same year. Some day I hope to get Wake much further down the most wanted list, but until then the conversations need to be efficient.
QSL Cards — When you send me a QSL card I will reply with all QSLs logged up to that point I received and open your mail. No need to send multiple cards, unless you want to. Additionally, I only reply to QSL cards every few months when I am off Wake Island, so your patience is appreciated.
