Nate,

great job in making a rare multiplier available - I'll be active with the 
EJ0GI crew - joint operation of the City of Belfast and South Dublin radio 
clubs, hence the call - from Inisheer in the Aran Islands, EU-006.  If 
you've seen the TV programme Father Ted, Craggy Island is based on Inisheer 
and you see our operating site in the opening credits.

We'll be operating in the 24-hour multi-op/DXpedition sections and have 
never made the top 10 in either of these but we hope that this will be our 
year.

We operate from what's just about the westernmost tip of Europe so we should 
be a big signal in the Outer Banks, as well as of course all over Europe.

I'll also be active a lot as EJ/G0RTN outside contest periods, mostly on CW, 
hope to see as many of you as possible then!
