Would you like to activate an Official USi Special Event station?
How about using a 1 x 1 expedition / special event call sign? It's very easy to get one assigned for a limited two week period. Visit the NCVEC website for details.
If you plan on using a 1x1 call, contact Jay NS4J with your proposed special event or island expedition and it will be added to the official special event list.

On April 17, 2010, Darryl W5VK and Chuck WA4IIF qualified AL033S Robinson and AL035S West islands operating W5VK.
This photo, from AL033S, is a perfect example of the operating station being on board the boat and the generator and antenna being on the island.
(Island Criteria #2. "Operation from boats, ships, etc. is allowed as long as some part of the radio station (transceiver, antenna, feed-line or power supply) is physically located on the island."
Station info: IC 706G xcvr, SB 200 amp, MFJ 962 tuner, 33’ homebrew vertical wire dipole on a fiberglass telescopic pole, Honda 2000i generator. Boat (Island Hopper) is a 17’ open runabout with modifications for mounting antennas.
