Hi Joe,
Thats interesting.
Bill AA4R was past president of W4BFB club, many Charlotte locals have
operated from Fox Mike 13
with W4BFB years ago..In fact Ted W4VHF and Paul AA4ZZ are advising us on
their past experiences,
and Nyles KS4S is a Fox Mike 13 veteran and will be joining us..for this
effort.
Hope conditions are such, that we can work you again this contest.
Have been warned that we will be talking to ourselves, unless the bands open
up, so hoping WSJT
will help fill some of those gaps..
Have tried to put together a webpage where folks could see what we are
planning
http://nfourbx.googlepages.com/fm13dxpedition
Once again will be operating as* N4BX*..
