fanclub website loss of data

I have noticed the loss of two of my reports from the Amateur Radio Status listing.
Both Voice and Repeater headings should have an entry from the 14th April from
myself VK6MJ however the last voice report is listed as the 7th April and the last repeater
report is listed as 25th March. Both my reports were listed after submitting them but they
have now disappeared. 73 Martin VK6MJ

Crew Sets Up Station Hardware; Module Name to be Announced

ISS Status Report

The International Space Station's Expedition 19 crew focused Tuesday on setting up spacewalk and experiment hardware as the clock counted down to NASA's announcement of a name for the newest station module.

In the Pirs Docking Compartment, Commander Gennady Padalka replaced umbilicals for the newest version of the Russian Orlan spacesuit. Padalka also inventoried food utensils in the Russian segment of the station.

Flight Engineer Mike Barratt spent much of his day working with AgCam, the Agriculture Camera experiment sponsored by the University of North Dakota. Positioned in the window of the station's Destiny laboratory, AgCam will capture images of vegetated areas on the Earth, principally of growing crops, rangeland, grasslands, forests and wetlands in the northern Great Plains and Rocky Mountain regions of the United States. Images will be delivered to farmers, ranchers, foresters, natural resource managers and tribal officials to help improve their stewardship of the land.
