   Hello to all in Georgia. Just wanted to let the groups know that as of 
now, myself, NY4N, and Becky, AF4QB, will be coming down and operating in the 
Georgia QSO Party as a Rover. We both were approved for vacation days next 
weekend.
   I think this year, Becky wants to play, so all listen up for the female, 
southern belle voice on phone, and her fist ain't too bad either. Last year, 
I operated only as a CW Rover, but I think she wants to use both modes this 
year, to give out more multipliers.
   Our planned route is as follows: We will start the contest in the 
Northwest corner of the State in Dade County. Will head East then catch I-75 
south toward Atlanta. We will skirt the northern section of Atlanta to I-85, 
working it north to the South Carolina border. We hope to end the first day 
around Athens.
   On the second day, we hope to travel south from Athens to I-20, taking it 
west toward Atlanta. At Atlanta, we want to go south on I-75 a bit, then work 
our way northwest, and finishing up the contest with the counties that border 
Alabama, hopefully ending up near where we started.
   Our plans are to activate around 40 counties both days. This may be 
tougher than we think, but we will give it our best shot. 
   On the air, 20 and 40 meters will most likely be our bands of choice. May 
work 10 meters if it is open. 80 meters is iffy at this time, but if we can 
get an antenna to work, may use it the last few hours Saturday.
   I realize the idea is to activate as many counties as possible, so if 
there are any other Rovers using this same route, may be able to make some 
slight adjustments. So, that is the plans at this time. If there are any 
changes, will post as soon as possible. Any questions or comments, feel free 
to drop me a post.  73 and good luck to all.   NY4N   Jeff
