IOTA ACTIVATIONS. Eric, W4OTN/3, informs OPDX that he is currently
planning on two IOTA DXpeditions: Smith Island (NA-140) and Hatteras
(Pea) Island (NA-067). The DXpedition to Smith Island is up in the air
due to him having to sail there, but the latter to Hatteras Island will
definitely happen unless there is some hurricane that forces him to stay
home. His plan is as follows:
NA-140 - Smith Island is a small island in Maryland's Chesapeake Bay.
Available only by boat, he will be sailing there to operate
from the marina using shore-based antennas and transceivers.
Eric will provide an update as it gets closer to the time to
make his way south. Operation will be over the last weekend
in July 2013 for the annual RSGB IOTA Contest. Activity will
most likely be 40-10 meters SSB. He may be able to do some
CW, depending on how much practice he get before then.
NA-067. Eric will be on vacation between August 4-10th on Hatteras
Island. Operating will be vacation-style and he will try to
be available on 40-6 meters using CW and SSB. Eric knows this
island group has been well represented in the past so he does
not expect many pileups, but maybe he can work some rare ones
himself!
