> Hi Gang,
>
> As previously announced, some of the KnightLites will be heading to Cape
> Lookout, NC
> March 26-28, 2004. Cape Lookout is located in Carteret County and falls
> under the IOTA
> (Islands on the Air) designation NA-067. Please listen for us near the
> QRP calling frequencies
> as WQ4RP/NA67. Our primary bands will be 80, 40, and 20M. If condx
> warrant, we will also be operating SSB on 14.260, which is the IOTA
> calling frequency.
>
> So far, our group includes four people:
>
> John WB4OFT and his son, Geoffrey
> John N3DRK
> Paul AA4XX
>
> We will be running two stations. N3DRK will be bringing his K2 with his
> neat solar power system, and AA4XX will be bringing his Argonaut V.
> Antennas will include both kite supported endfed halfwave verticals and
> beach mounted DK9SQ fiberglass mast supported verticals.
>
> Our transportation to Cape Lookout will be via Calico Jack's ferry on
> Harker's Island. The ferry trip out to the lighthouse takes 15-20
> minutes and will allow glimpses of the famous Shackleford Banks ponies.
> This is a "walk on" ferry, the charges being approx $15 roundtrip for
> campers with a minimum of two people per trip. Note the Calico Jack's
> hyperlink on the KL website for specific details on the ferry:
> www.knightlites.org (follow EVENTS link). Our campsite will be within
> a couple hundred yards of the pier, adjacent to the lighthouse.
>
> It may be possible to bring your vehicle onto Core Banks just north of
> the Lighthouse area. To confirm this, I'd advise you to contact the
> folks at Algier Willis Fish Camp in Davis. Info on this can be found
> at: www.drumwagon.com/awfc/default.htm
>
> The Drumwagon site includes many aerial pictures of the Cape Lookout
> National Seashore, including pictures relating to hurricanes which have
> traversed this area. You can view these photos at:
> http://www.drumwagon.com/default.asp (see Updated Pic pages)
>
> Our group is planning on arriving at the campsite on Friday, March 26th.
> Visitors may plan on joining us any time during the weekend whether for
> a day trip or overnight primitive camping.
> Plan on bringing the usual camping gear, including food and water for
> your stay. We will depart Sunday around noon.
>
> In the event of high winds or otherwise questionable weather the ferry
> will not run. We'll assess the wx condx up till the time we leave and
> will get word to you via the QRP-L and KLQRP lists if the trip is
> cancelled.
