To: All radio amateurs From: Bill Talanian Subject: Island trip

We have a limited number of openings for a weekend of work & play at the UC compound on Santa Cruz Island. Transportation paid. Leave on Friday June 20 and return on Sunday June 22nd. Tasks will be to install mobile radio's in vehicles and one base station. Sleeping quarters are included. However, cost of food is typically shared amongst team members once a menu is agreed upon. This is an ideal time to learn about the centuries old history of Santa Cruz Island and the 30 year history of amateur radio. This will be a split exercise with one team at The Nature Conservancy and the other at UC. Joint team tasks will be performed when required. There are a lot of tools, test equipment, food, water etc. and logistics to be planned and worked upon so we need to know very soon the total number we can take. Each team member is expected to take on planning and support tasks to make it all work. If you have an interest then contact "Ken Owen" ken@cirweb.org or Bill Talanian, w1uuq@cox.net.
