The first reports of Amsterdam Island QSOs happened this morning.  Signals have been heard at 3 to 6 S units above the noise level on 17, 20, and 30 meter bands here in RI during the afternoon.  The pileups this early in the game are huge and rude.  However there is an excellent chance that we will be able to work Amsterdam Island easily.  Three club members (that we know of) have worked FT5ZM to date.  Good luck!
