1R2 1.  WITH THE 703S INTERNAL TUNER, I WOULD BE ABLE TO LEAVE THE VERTICAL
SET FOR 20 METERS AND STILL MAKE CONTACTS ON 17, 15, 10, AND EVEN 6 METERS.
PERMITS AND PLANNING ONCE I HAD MY GEAR SETTLED, IT WAS TIME TO GET A
PERMIT TO OPERATE.  I WOULD BE ON DRY TORTUGAS IN MID JUNE FOR THE ARRL
JUNE VHF/UHF CONTEST.  I SUBMITTED A HANDDRAWN DIAGRAM OF MY OPERATION, THE
NECESSARY FORMS, AND THE FEE, AND AFTER A LITTLE BIT OF BACK AND FORTH, I
RECEIVED MY PERMIT.  I MADE FIVE COPIES, JUST IN CASE I NEEDED TO GIVE ANY
OUT DURING MY OPERATION, AND PUT THEM IN MY TRIP BINDER.  PRIOR TO THE
TRIP, I WENT DOWN TO THE FERRY IN KEY WEST TO SEE WHAT ID BE DEALING WITH
CONCERNING SPACE FOR ALL THE GEAR.  IT WAS A GOOD IDEA, BECAUSE THE FERRYS
AREA FOR STORING CAMPING GEAR TURNED OUT TO BE SMALLER THAN I ANTICIPATED.
