[DX] Internet Logs for KL7AK IOTA Available

[Richard Kaplan]

KL7AK.NET

Hello all,

We plan to have a web site on the Internet with pictures from Deer
Island, information, and hopefully a daily updated basic log.  You
should be able to
enter your callsign and be able to tell whether you're in
our logbook and the band and mode.  Simple ... but for now that's about
all we can setup.  Hopefully this will be better than nothing.

Thanks and 73,
Rick, KL7AK =

IOTA DXpedition

KL7AK will activate Deer Island,  part of the Southern Alaska Peninsula
West group; an unnumbered IOTA island group.  We are projecting we will
be on the island late in the evening on the 31st of July, 2002, UTC,
until mid-afternoon on the 5th of August, 2002, UTC.  =


CALLSIGN:  KL7AK

OPERATORS:  Rick, KL7AK -- Blaine, KL7TG -- Linda, NL7RE -- Larry,
KF6XC  -- Jim, K9PPY.

Our main station will be a Kenwood TS-57=D8S(G) HF transceiver with an
Ameritron AL-8=D8A amp, using a Mosley Mini-33 tri-band Yagi up about 30
feet.  A Cushcraft R-7000 will be used for 40 and 80 meters.

I have found during my many Alaska island Dxpeditions,  that 2=D8 meters
is the optimum band here in Alaska.  We normally have propagation up to
2=D8 hours a day.  However, we will operate 80 through 10 meters, both SS=
B
and CW, including the AO-27 and UO-14 Amateur Satellites.  We will
operate on or near the IOTA frequencies on each band.

QSL MANAGER:  Fred Stenger, N6AWD, good in the callbook/Internet
databases.
