The QTH with the crow nest will be used for the February IOTA Operation. The remaining
photos show the multimillion dollar project to construct a berm to protect property at the west
end of the island after the destruction by hurricane Katrina in 2005.

         

The proposed QTH in Feb 2008 shown above with views from the Crow's Nest shown below. Should make for good antenna setup!

   

   

Note the 'berm' walkover with the Gulf of Mexico on the opposite side, our FEMA dollars at work!

    

As you can see, Dauphin Island is a desolate place with no trees and very little scrub brush.

   

These last three pictures show the QTH I stayed at in May of this year on a recon trip for Nov. 2007 & Feb. 2008.
The view on the left overlooks the sound, a 2 mile stretch of water to mainland Alabama not far from Bayou La Batre where parts of the motion picture Forrest Gump were filmed.

 
Hope you enjoyed the photos
