Subject: [VHFcontesting] An Iceberg in Texas....in July!!!
Hello everyone interested in our (so far non-) DXpedition to DL79 and DL89. We
loaded up this morning and took off for west Texas and the Big Bend country.
However, about 100 miles from home, (like the Titanic) Bill's truck struck an
iceberg. We did not sink, but we had to limp back to the repair shop and try
to effect repairs. The shop owner was very helpful and he is going to try to
get us on the road again...hopefully by noon tomorrow. We are going to lose at
least 1.5 days here, BUT, we originally were planning to leave on the 5th
anyway. SO, we may be able to make up a lot of the time and get back on track.
What this will probably mean is that we will not be able to spend as much time
as we would have liked in each grid. We are trying hard not to have to cancel.
However, we cannot stretch this out for days and days. The CQ WW VHF contest
begins on the 20th of July and we have to be back for that.
We will let everyone know our progress as it occurs.
Sorry, but we are doing what we can.....
73 Marshall K5QE and Bill N5YA
