Hi everyone.

A group of hams plan to operate over the weekend of May 6-8 at Fort 
Jefferson (Dry Tortugas island).  Operations will be CW and Phone.  We 
can also light up 6 meters if the band opens. The group plans to run two 
stations at about 50 watts each from large AGM batteries, fed with both 
solar panels and wind generator.  Look up the call sign K4T on qrz.com 
to learn more.

We expect large pileups and have already published our plans in various 
venues.  Here are the various numbers we'll be handing out:

  * IOTA NA-079
  * US Island FL013S
  * Grid EL84
  * ARRL National Park,  NP17
  * World Wide Flora & Fauna , KFF-0023
  * ARLHS Lighthouse, USA-316 and USA-236


We'll even have a hex beam along with band pass filters to keep each 
station out of the other.  Travel logistics have already been taken care 
of, and your cost should be around $500.

If you have CW contest experience and want a really fun weekend of sun 
and pileups, please give me a call.  The first ham that can help us out 
and make the trip gets the slot!  Perhaps you know someone that would 
work out, but isn't on this email reflector?  Please pass the word if 
you know someone like that!

Very 73;
