Hi Tad, et. al
    You can operate any time you like and for as long as you  like.  I 
believe that most of the activations will take place on the  weekend.

  Thanks for your interest !

Hello  everyone, I went to the website but the dates were not clear to me.  
 
Anyway, If it can be done on a weekend or just a Saturday, I would be  
happy to provide my portable station and antennas for any operation that can  be 
arranged--I can't do the entire week.  The station is a K3 (battery or  AC 
mains) laptop (AC mains), a 30' tilt-up mast (just needs a small patch of  
ground for 4 tent pegs and either some convenient guy tie-offs or 3 more tent 
 pegs), a 20-6 meter (one band at a time) 3 element beam, a vehicle-mounted 
 40-10 meter vertical antenna and an Off-Center-Fed dipole that can be hung 
in  a tree.  I also have a tennis ball launcher for shooting lines (100'  
plus) and miscellaneous connectors, cables, ropes, portable  tables and other 
accessories to make it all come together.  this is  the set-up I use for 
the GA QSO Party and Field Day.
What I'm not good at  is organizing/coordinating/getting-permission for 
this type of  operation.

I noticed that there is a NWR north of Macon Called  Piedmont NWR.  It's 
Website is  http://www.fws.gov/piedmont/

If someone(s) would take care of all  the requests, clearance permisions, 
etc., I would be glad to go down and set  up and offer the station for a team 
to use.  About the only other  requirements would be some kind of pavillion 
or shelter or building to  set-up in (preferably with AC power.  I can set 
it all up by myself if  necessary, but any assistance would be welcome.  
Also, I would be happy  to allow my callsign to be used and would take care of 
the QSLs if that is the  case.  Or if another callsign is used that is OK as 
well.
Let me know,  
Tad, WF4W
