Hi Gang,

See the attached image of the rock island which is currently RF-active on CW.

My buddy, Rick, K6VVA, took a helicopter out this morning to this IOTA  Island 
NA-184 St. George Reef. It is up off the coast of Northern  California.

You'll seem him spotted on the bands 40m thru 15m.  He is currently on 10105 
listening up about 1.

Plan is to be there only today and tomorrow.  On CW he just said it is "Cold out 
on this Rock."

K6VVA/6 is on IOTA NA-184.  He is a great CW man.
