``Quelle est la durée de la course ?
La durée totale de l’événement est d’environ 6 à 8 semaines, répartie
comme suit :
Première étape : 8-10 jours de navigation
Escale aux Canaries : 20 jours
Deuxième étape : 15-20 jours de navigation
Les durées peuvent varier selon les conditions météorologiques et la
catégorie du bateau (Série ou Proto).`` So 15-20 days after the
restart Oct 26 would mean ending Nov 10-15 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9930, Oct 31 at 1913, TOMBS air is dead on only S7/S9 direct
WTWW and still at 1957 into Maryland SDR where it`s also only S9, so
also underpowered? Something`s lifeless in Lebanon (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** U S A. 17525, Oct 31 at 1757, WMLK reactivated, DEJOM preaching, no
hourtop ID break. Had been off for weeks; tnx tip from Rick Barton in
AZ. Still at 1906 S9/+10 direct (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 341 MCW kHz, Oct 31 at 0652 UT, two JBA NDB stations
mixing. One very likely DNI, 25 watts at Sherman/DeNIson TX, almost in
OK. The other used to be OIN, 25 watts at Oberlin KS, both of which
would vie with JBA local EI, Enid, which has been OFF for a few years.
All of these still appear at dxinfocentre.com/ndb.htm, but only DNI in
the RNA list. It shows 5 others in conterminous USA still active and
one far Canadian (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
