   Hi friends....   
      
   Tomorrow is the LAST DAY for the NA-085 IOTA Dog Island DXpedition.     
      
   So far 600+ QSO's. 35 DXCC countries, 36 states, 7 provinces worked.   
      
   I want to break 900 or even 1000 hams served with a shot at a IOTA island with   
   no previous recorded DXactivity.  Who knows when the next ham will get here by   
   boat only for another dxpedition.   
      
   Tell folks you know.....time is fleeting.  I am working the General class   
   portion of 15 meters  21.275+ and especially looking for folks who are   
   mike-shy and want to work a rare IOTA DXpedition Island.   
      
   It has been an honor and a privilege to work many a new ham, disabled hams,   
   and  new comers to the hobby.   
      
   Spread the word as I will be packing up at 1600 LOCAL ESDT for the boat ride   
   back to civilization Sunday Morning EARLY.  The rigs MUST be packed and   
   squared away tomorrow PM LOCAL.   
      
   Dog Island is NA-085  The most rare of the St. George Island Inter coastal   
   Islands and Dog Island Is the most rare as it is accessible ONLY by boat or   
   charter air single engine Cessna.    I researched no former Dog Island   
   DXpedition and the next future    
   one is mine.   
      
   QSL VIA QRZ.COM.     SASE required for stateside QSL and IOTA requires PAPER   
   QSL's.   It is their rule not mine from the Radio Society of Great Britain,   
   IOTA / RSGB.   
      
   There is nothing here besides beach houses.  We have AC power, but NO   
   internet, Cable TV, No eateries, no coffee shops, no runs, no hits, no errors,   
   nobody lefr on base.......zilch.    If you didn't bring it with you you wont   
   find it here....   
      
   1800 ZULU today......4/18/2014 is my hard DXpedition deadline.  After that,   
   everything must bee boxed, secured, and in transit to the only one dock marina   
   on the island to go back to the mainland.   
      
   After that -- it's up to the next DX-pedition.   
      
   God Bless.  Tired,   Sore.
