[Clayton Coleman W5PFG]

(Venice, LA, USA) Wyatt Dirks, AC0RA, and Clayton Coleman, W5PFG’s plan 
to activate maidenhead gridsquare EL58hx on Memorial Day weekend, 2018, 
is rescheduled due to unsafe weather conditions. The National Weather 
Service’s National Hurricane Center confirms 70% potential for a 
tropical depression to form in the next five days with potential to move 
into the Gulf of Mexico this weekend. Rainfall predicted to hit the 
Louisiana coast combined with additional moisture from the potential 
depression would inhibit safe access to the operating location. The new 
dates for the expedition are June 7-9, 2018.
