Pigeon Key Dxpedition

Dxpedition from Pigeon Key FL this weekend, 16-18 September - Special Event station K4

Approximately 12 hams including myself will be active from Pigeon Key FL, a small island in the Florida Keys, from around 16:00Z 9/16 to 16:00Z 9/18.

The island is an IOTA location, and should be active on several HF bands & 6M as well as several fm/ssb satellites and perhaps some direct 2m or 70cm ssb.

The grid location is EL94kr, latitude 24deg 43.267min N and longitude 81deg 09.523min W.

Listed below is a cream-of-the-crop satellite passes which we hope to be on, perhaps even more. If for some reason PO-28 becomes active on voice by then we'll be there too, otherwise try the passes below if you are in the footprint.

Thanks, hope to hear many of you working us at K4P.

(ISS means working the crossband repeat if active. Three sats overlap near 14:20 Z on the 17th so may the best pass win!)
