Island (IOTA NA-138, USi FL-116S, Duval County), Florida, from noon
Saturday Nov 15 noon Sunday Nov 16th. All hams are invited to join us
and participate in the fun. LATEST NEWS from Andy, N8OFS dated
2008-10-31: Our current plans are to transmit part of the time on 6
meters. The island is a state park and due to some restrictions we can
only put up one antenna so we will only have one operation radio. We
have decided that whoever is operating the radio will have the choice of
band and mode so I don't have a set schedule. If you want we can try to
work out some skeds with you. If I get more details then I'll forward
them to you. [Marshall Harrison - W4MKH via MMMonVHF]

3B7FQ Trip Update:
Rachid, 3B8FQ reports that his trip to activate St. Brandon Island has
been delayed due to the unavailability of boat transportation. It had
been planned for late October. The next boat scheduled to leave for St.
Brandon is 15 November, and Rachid and the meteorological station
maintenance team are hoping to be aboard. If everything works out as
planned, Rachid will be active as 3B7FQ much longer than during his
short stay on Agalega Island as 3B6FQ this past April.  As was the case
this past Spring, Rachid will be on a work assignment and will be active
on phone & CW, as time is available.
More info as it becomes available. [K5XK
