Maidenhead Grid EL58hx Activation Memorial Day Weekend 2018 - Rescheduled



(Venice, LA, USA) Wyatt Dirks, AC0RA, and Clayton Coleman, W5PFG’s
plan to activate maidenhead gridsquare EL58hx on Memorial Day weekend,
2018, is rescheduled due to unsafe weather conditions. The National
Weather Service’s National Hurricane Center confirms 70% potential for
a tropical depression to form in the next five days with potential to
move into the Gulf of Mexico this weekend. Rainfall predicted to hit
the Louisiana coast combined with additional moisture from the
potential depression would inhibit safe access to the operating
location. The new dates for the expedition are June 7-9, 2018.



Further information will be released prior to the rescheduled
expedition. For general inquiries contact Clayton, W5PFG, at
