Friends, here is a chance at WYOMING for your Worked All States Award
I will be working in the Yaesu booth at the Rocky Mountain Division
Convention in Casper, WY May 29-30 - so I have all the excuse I need to sneak
out
and activate a rare grid as part of the trip. I will activate DN73 prior
to the convention.
I will pack the SUV and leave California ugly-early Tuesday May 25. I am
bringing DXpedition gear I will use June 9-23 for my 5J0BV San Andres Island
op to give it a good wring out during this trip. Kilowatt,Yagi and all. I
expect to be on the air basically full-time from about 12N May 26 until
about 9A the 28th. Dwayne Allen WY7FD is trying to locate a friendly ham in
DN73 who will allow me to run an extension cord out to my SUV for the
operation. The SUV shack will include a nice pillow and a couple No-Es books...
I will watch for openings by monitoring and CQing on 50.125 SSB/CW and
then QSY when the action starts. Please also watch for a breakable CQ beacon
on 50.097 CW - I will be in listening in CQ beacon mode whenever there is no
evidence of the band being open. I expect to have my digital gear with me
and be able to run meteor scatter and maybe even EME skeds.
Probably no Internet and maybe no cell phone - please call on-the-air
anytime you hear me so I know the band is open.
73 and "May the E's Be With You"
Dennis Motschenbacher K7BV
