There are 2 logging networks there and one appears to be much slower updating so give it some time maybe an hour or more.

Rob said the Titanex was up for 160 and 80.  RX antennas will go up tomorrow.  They are still working on some log corrections and aware that especially on 17 M there are some problems.

We are aware that are some log problems and are trying to resolve some of them.  Some of them may have to be resolved after they return depending on how much work it is going to involve.  Sorry for this inconvenience.
