3G1P ---> Following a difficult landing, the 3G1P team began operations from the top of the large Pajaros rock at around 22 UTC on 18 August. They had to operate under the open sky, as they could not put up a tent. They started on 20m CW in the late afternoon and continued until 7 UTC,  at which point they decided to rest.
The following day, they began on 20m CW and then switched to 15m SSB. As the day progressed, the ocean swells increased  and  the generator was hit  by a lot of water spray, forcing them to stop operations temporarily. However, by the end  of the day,  they  had found  a suitable spot  for  the  generator, enabling them to operate on 20m SSB all night.
Then they were informed that the sea conditions would worsen,  prompting the local helpers to assess their safety. On the morning of 21 August, they went QRT  and  began preparations  for evacuation.  They had to swim to  the boat through high waves,  and eventually reached  the mainland around  17:30 UTC. Most of  their equipment  remained on the rock,  packed for later retrieval. Read the complete update on https://3g1psa-100.weebly.com/.
