> Members of the Mid-Florida DX Association (W4FDX) are activating Garden Key NA-079 (US Island FL013S) 29-31 January 2016. This is to put grid EL84 on the air during the ARRL January VHF contest. Additionally, this will put Dry Tortugas National Park (NP17) on the air for the ARRL's National Parks on the Air Event. Here is your chance to get four in one shot: NA-079, FL013S, EL84 and NP17, ARLHS USA-316.
> 
> Multiple stations will be on the air during the whole time. Bands/times will depend on conditions. One station will be on 6 meters during the VHF contest, dependent on band conditions. We will also be calling for Asian stations at different times to give them a chance since we were able to work some while down there in July of 2015.
