Dog Island DX-Pedition IOTA NA-085 Activation

I am 63 miles from the island, less than 15 hours from commencement of the DXpedition. I hope to have the station(s) up for HF & VHF by 1800 EDST Saturday and will be on 10m SSB first and on the Novice/Tech portion of the band first and then AM and FM as long as rates per hour remain high.

I plan to go from HI to LO in frequency to places/modes/frequencies where the rates are the best on SSB.

I hope to have ALL MODES (Computer Modes and CW) up and qrv by 1700 ZULU Monday.

6m SSB/CW and then 10 thru 40M all bands all modes until Saturday evening April 19th about 1800 LOCAL EDST Saturday at DXpedition close.

DXpedition is "Vacation Style" with one DXer on site and all bands 6 thru 40M and on as many modes as possible --all General Portions of the band and MUCH efforts made to include Novice and Tech portions of 10M as well as tech CW portions of 10-40m. I appreciate being spotted on reflectors and spotting websites .

God Bless.... CU on the bands.

Cool! Gonna use the old name of Isle de Chiens on the card?

Take plenty of sunblock and remember that the sugar white sand reflects hella UV. Under an unbrella isn't always sufficient shelter from old Sol on the Redneck Riviera!

 

Any update on activity ? Zero spots on DXWATCH.
