For the past two years the Kennehoochee Amateur Radio Club (KARC) has sponsored teams to activate an IOTA / Lighthouse Island Expedition. The objective of these events is foster community involvement, bring excitement to a new level of HF operation, and most of all have fun. These events have been a memorable experience and have logged QSO’s in excess of 4000. Some of the achievements have been Working 50+ countries, Worked All States, and Worked all Continents. In addition, the teams worded over 400 prefixes and twenty-two zones.
Sponsors for this year’s activation include Yaesu for the radios and Alpha Delta who will provide the antennas. A special call, K4D, has been assigned by the FCC for this activation. Updated information can be found on http://www.w4bti.org.
All QSO’s will be confirmed with a 4 color card through the bureau or directly to the address shown at http://www.qrz.com. The logs will be uploaded to LOTW and eQSL.cc.
