Hi Guys:
Below is a message received today from Bruce, ZF2NT (N6NT). He and
Yuri, VE3DZ (ex VA3UZ, also UT4UZ) are doing a multi-single in ARRL DX
CW this weekend. I am not sure if they will be using ZF2NT or ZF1DZ.
In any case, you will see that Bruce's message suggests that I am the
only one in GA who can hear and work the Caymans on 28 mhz. Obviously,
that is not a correct statement, so I challenge you all (particularly
those in GA) to work the Cayman boys on all bands, but particularly on
10 M. Let's see how wrong we can prove Bruce to be and see how many GA
stations can get in their log on 10M. It is true that ordinarily their
signals are weak, but they can hear very well and it is worth the time
to make a few calls to get a new multiplier from them. In the mornings,
signals are usually best South, but sometime they seem better NE. In
the afternoons, SW is usually best. Turn your beam around and call them
with it in the direction that their signal is the loudest and you will
get through OK after the big guys have quieted down.
Hope everyone has a good time this weekend. This message from Bruce was
prompted by a message from me that I will be W4KZ single band 15 meters
from the NQ4I new location this weekend. Ian, K5ZM, from Portland, OR
will be down again and will be NQ4I single band 20. Jeff, KU8E, will be
using his own call on 80 M single band.
Hope everyone has a great weekend and many QSOs with good conditions on
all bands.

If you're going to be in the 15m chair all weekend, how are Yuri and
I ever going to get GA on 10m? I've come to depend on you most
contests for that mult, since nobody else in GA seems to know how to
listen carefully enough to find me. If we miss GA/10 this weekend,
I'll blame you for years to come for that!

Hello all:
The QTH of the NQ4I M/M contest station has been moved to
a larger lot
where Rick has built a new home in Griffin, GA. I did CQ
160 CW from
there in January with my own call. Not all the antennas
are up yet, but
there will be three separate single band efforts from the
new QTH this
weekend. I will be on 15 meters using Rick's club call,
W4KZ. Ian,
K5ZM, is flying in from Portland, OR to operate 20 meters
(where the
antennas are almost complete) as NQ4I. Jeff, KU8E, will
use his own
call on 80 meters, where Rick has a new four square up.
The 3 element
yagi for 80 isn't up yet. I will have the use of one
yagi on 15 that
won't quite rotate to the South. Eventually, there will
be a south
antenna as well as other 15 meter antennas. Rick would
like any
reports, particularly comparisons with other stations in
our
Southeastern US area. Rick is nq4i@compuserve.com or I
will be glad to
QSP and reports to him. QSLs for W4KZ and NQ4I can go
via NQ4I or
directly to K4PK if desired. Jeff will be handling his
own QSLs for
KU8E. The County is Spalding.
Speaking of counties in GA, the annual GA QSO Party has
been moved to
the second weekend in April, as a result of complaints
from the mobilers
that July was too hot for mobiling in Georgia. Jeff,
KU8E, and I are
planning a two man effort to put on the air as many Ga
counties that
weekend as possible. The rules remain the same, so it is
a Saturday,
Sunday activity with 10 hours each day. The dates are
April 12 and 13,
so this will be a warm up for K4OJ/N4TO and the FCG
sponsored Fla QSO
Party, which I think is the next weekend.
Look forward to working a lot of you this coming weekend
as W4KZ and
getting and giving out a lot of 21 mhz Windle points.
Any QSOs by W4KZ
in ARRL DX CW 2003 will be with K4BAI, as operator.
161,
John, K4BAI/8P9HT/8P9Z.
