AJ4LU, Dave, and KO4MA, Drew will be rovering again as KO4MA/R for the
September contest. We will be run and gun with directional antennas on all 4
bands. We are going to duplicate our very successful July run that lit up 22
grids. We plan on beginning the contest from near Gainesville, FL, heading
north on I75, taking a small detour for EM71 and EM72, up to Atlanta, across
I85 to Spartanburg/Greenville, a slight detour up to EM85/EM95, then down
I26 and I95, across I4, with a loop through Lakeland for EL87 and EL97, then
home to Tampa ending in EL88. We expect to overnight somewhere around
Atlanta.
With likely less 6m activity this month, I'd like to have some folks looking
for us, especially in south Georgia and southern South Carolina. We'll be
primarily on 144.200 and the other calls, and will QSY up 15 kHz or more
when busy. If you have frequencies other than the call that you will be
listening to, please send me a note with callsign, frequency and six digit
gridsquare. Please feel free to pass our info on to any other participating
stations or email lists.
Thanks guys, and hope to work all of you, several times if we can!
73, Drew KO4MA
