[SEDXC] Looking for some volunteers to operate during National Wildlife Refuge Week !

[MAllphin at aol.com]

Hello everyone....
    Several weeks ago, I put out a  notice that The KP1-5 Project (they 
brought you K5D) was looking for some people  to activate some NWRs during NWR 
week in October.
    Here is a reminder of that event  and more information.  Won't you 
consider operating from a National  Wildlife refuge near you?

Press Release
National Wildlife Refuge Week 2009
Sharing the Good  News via Amateur Radio
The KP1-5 Project, which brought you the 2009 Desecheo  Island DXpedition, 
is pleased
to announce that it is serving as national  coordinator for Amateur Radio’s 
observation of
the 2009 National Wildlife  Refuge Week, Sunday October 12 to Saturday 
October 18,
2009.
The goal is  to combine your communication skills with
your enjoyment of the outdoors to  help others learn
about the National Wildlife Refuge System.
Only  authorized, responsible access to refuges is
sanctioned by this event.
To  operate from a National Wildlife Refuge:
1. Review guidance information  available at _www.nwrweek-radio.info_ 
(http://www.nwrweek-radio.info/)  then  contact
_info at nwrweek-radio.info_ (mailto:info at nwrweek-radio.info)  to request  
coordination through our clearinghouse.
2. Obtain permission from the refuge  manager to operate within the refuge. 
Submit your
operating plan to _info at nwrweek-radio.info_ 
(mailto:info at nwrweek-radio.info)  to have your  operation listed on our web site.
Operating Tips:
• Operate one day or the  entire week, subject to the refuge manager's 
authorization.
• Use your own  call sign, a club call sign or a 1x1 special event call 
sign.
• Use SSB,  PSK31, RTTY, CW, etc., and describe refuge features and 
wildlife to those
you  contact.
Be a good steward of the refuge. Your presence in wildlife
areas  should be passive, minimizing impact and leaving
habitat  unaltered.
Several ham operators who have experience operating
from  refuges are available to answer questions and offer
suggestions.
