Hi folks. I’m Bruce Brady, K5TEN and I will be activating Dog Island, (IOTA NA-085) June 2nd thru June 14th, 2019 with the call sign K4D. EL 79 is a rare grid with very few locals and 85% salt water. Dog Island is rare because the year-round locals have decided they can control who can and cannot stay on the island. This is no different than a government entity saying who can and who cannot stay on the island. In other words NO TOURISTS, and you must have a contact to stay on the island. I have activated this grid in since 2014 but this year I will be mostly digital modes, and then SSB. Emphasis on FT8 mode and SSB. I cannot tell you how many hams appreciate a shot at EL79. Operation will be 100 watts ICOM 7100, and an off center fed dipole for 40 thru 6 meters. I will also be active during the ARRL June VHF Contest as K4D. Please help me get the word out. QSL to K5TEN Direct, Bureau, LoTW, ClubLog, and eQSL.com. See QRZ.com for details on K4D Contact K5TEN/K4D Bruce Brady |
