W4RYZ St Vincent Island Expedition Saturday Morning May 11th

The Panama City ARC will be operating with callsign W4RYZ from St Vincent Island, Florida Saturday morning  May 11th from 1230 to 1530 UTC or 8:30 to 11:30 EDT.. We are participating in the US Islands One Day Getaway and Parks On The Air. The Island is USI FL006S and POTA K-057. We will have several stations operating covering 80, 40 and 20 meters with all modes. We will be on 40 SSB for sure. Our time is short due to the island shuttle boat hours.
