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

[Brad Farrell]

"USFWS will observe 2009 NWR Week Sunday October 12 - Saturday October 18. 
Amateur Radio Observation: Saturday October 11 - Sunday October 19."  In other
words, the ham radio observation of NWR Week starts a day earlier and ends a
day later (for those who want to start early or operate the day after.  But
the actual operating period for a refuge you would activate will be determined
by the refuge manager.

I would be glad to answer any questions.

73,
Brad K4RT

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
