[K6NCG] Radio events this weekend.

[dcrisis at desmondcrisis.com]

Hello everyone.

This is Desmond, KC6VHG.  I'm still living out here on T.I. (15 years in to a 7 year plan!)

This weekend is the Armed Forces Day / Crossband Test event.  I'm planning to operate the crossband event from our Coast Guard club station on the base on Coast Guard Island Alameda. We'll be transmitting as NMC1

It's also the "One Day Getaway" event for the U.S. Islands Award.  Treasure Island doesn't qualify as an "Islands On The Air" (IOTA) location because it is inside the gate.  It does, however, qualify as a "U.S. Island"  Our identifier is "CA013S"

I haven't heard from anyone lately, but I'd like to operate under the K6NCG club call for the "Islands" event.  Might be fun catch for some folks. Is the call sign trustee listening to give me permission?
