I worked him around 1:30pm today. Signal not real strong yet, but should get better.
Here is interesting piece of info I found about Tuvalu - http://spaceinfo.com.au/2010/08/28/tuvalu-islands-in-danger/. The Tuvalu Islands in Danger.
"As a result of rising sea levels, like the Republic of Kiribati (South Pacific) and Maldives (Indian Ocean), Tuvalu is also in danger of submerging. Water gushes out from the ground, and houses and roads are flooded during high tide. Spring water from dents that were made during construction of the airfield, lowlands where people tend to live, and contaminated wastewater dramatically decreasing foraminifers, which are responsible for forming sands, are suspected as the causes of this phenomenon.
However, in Tuvalu, since the highest point is only 4.5 metres above sea level, it is a land easily affected by rises in the sea level. The nation has already begun evacuating some of its residents to New Zealand. Japan is cooperating in coastal protection, disaster prevention, and developing alternative energy sources."
