I don't know the lay of the land at Visalia in terms of how
tightly scheduled it is, and/or how easy it is to set things up on the fly,
but, if feasible, perhaps we bring this discussion there, and figure out an
organizational way forward.

Visalia is pretty loose. There are many scheduled presentations on Saturday, a DX track and a Contesting track on Friday. Plenty of loose contact time in the evenings. Try to arrive on Thursday, leave Sunday after the breakfast talk.

Visalia attracts lots of contesters, especially from NCCC, SCCC, and the Arizona Outlaws. There are several big stations in NCCC territory that regularly host a serious multi-op, including N6RO, K6LRG, W6YX, W7RN, and WC6H. W6NV has a mountaintop site that's set up for multi. K6TU and K6TD have a mountaintop site that's primarily designed for remote operation. W6JZH, K6TD, and NW6P often turn over their stations to guest operators. K6XX is set up for multi, but Bob is an WRTC competitor, so rarely hosts a multi, but he's mentored some younger hams who have become active contesters. I host guests from time to time. N6RO, K6LRG, and W7RN are all set up for remote operation. N6BV has no station at home, but often operates one of N6RO's stations remotely during a M/M. N7MH has no station at home, but is the primary operator at W6YX.
