Marsh Island NA-120
October 8, 2024
I heard K5M calling CQ yesterday on 20 CW and returned the call. Turns out a small operation was taking place on Marsh Island thanks to AD5A, AB5EB and K0AP. According to QRZ, they intend to be there again today so I haven’t yet emailed to ask who I worked, but the entry has hit Clublog.
Marsh Island is an island off the coast of southern Louisiana in the United States. There is no permanent human population at the time of the 2000 census. The entire island is a wildlife sanctuary managed by the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries as the Marsh Island Wildlife Refuge. Wikipedia
Marsh Island is recognized as IOTA NA-120 and as the Marsh Island Wildlife Refuge, POTA reference US-9769. Kind of a ‘twofer’ in my log. I look forward to learning a few details about this operation after the guys have a chance to get back home - which I hope is soon given Hurricane Milton is quickly building in the Gulf.
