ILLW 2014 - W9CQO at Kevich Light #US0193

This year, we are going to a "new" lighthouse for our club. It is one of the
very few privately-owned lighthouse in the USA, and relatively young.
This will be a joint venture with the Ozaukee Radio Club and
LeFrog (Local Emergency Field Operator's Group) also in Grafton, WI.

We will have a 30 foot tower with an A4S tri-band beam for 10/15/20m,
though probably start on 20m, depending on band conditions.
We are looking at possibly around 14.240 MHz if available.

We will also have two D-STAR radios, and plan to use the
KC9LKZ_C repeater in Milwaukee, WI, (call sign KC9ONY),and the
K9PAQ_B repeater in Hubertus, WI, (call sign K9VNM).
We'll start on REF019C if possible.
