Since Eric, N5WR, will be covering the same counties as I first posted, we
have decided to move more East, so as not to lap each other. We should be
able to get a few that was not covered too.
Looks like Becky and I will get to come over and play in the NCQP. Below is
the list of the counties we plan to activate, in the order in which they
will be worked. We have 21 counties on the list, and not sure if we can
them
all, but will try. It will be hard for us to get to North Carolina, seems
all
highways leading from Tennessee to NC is blocked with rocks.
We will be using mostly CW. With the new SSB categories this year, we are
going to try to have one rig dedicated to 75 meter phone all day long. We
will have a rig parked at 3860, but will not call CQ there...will be
listening.
Those in-state stations needing a new mult, put out a CQ on 3860, and
hopefully, we can make contact.
The route listed is one that takes in the fact that the weather will be OK.
We have an alternate route that adheres to more major roads if snow does
fall.
Our main bands will be 40 and 20 m, during the day, and dropping to 80 m
about dark. With 15 meters having been open in the mornings, we will try it
too, especially early in the contest.
Here is the list. Hope to see you on the air and good luck...have fun.
