Charter Flight and Accommodation arranged
Well
things are moving along according to plan. I’ve booked and paid the deposit for
accommodation on the island. I now have a reliable source of 240V power along
with comfortable and safe shelter near the water’s edge. This will give me a
great saltwater take off for the vertical antenna.
I’ve
been in negotiations with a flight company and I’ve booked and paid the deposit
for a charter flight in a little aircraft to take all of the equipment and
people over to the island on the Thursday morning. I’ll then be able to install
the verticals, set up the station and be on the air in the late afternoon on
Thursday August 15.
