[Fourlanders] September Contest & Me

[Jim Worsham]

I sure would like something to set 2 meters up in other than a tent!  Robin
has spoiled me with that trailer!  If your friend lets me set the 2 meter
station up in it he can use the 2 meter station camping spot (19 B I think).
I am not wild about the pickup mounted camper idea though.  Sounds a little
cramped to me.  I got a lot of big stuff, including me, that has to fit and
I like my comfort.  Another possibility is to rent a trailer.  I just rented
a 5X8 UHaul trailer to haul my kid's stuff to school in for $20 a day and
they have bigger ones (6X10) I think.  Anyway, I will talk to Robin at
Huntsville and see if there is a way we can get his trailer to the site.  By
the way Paul, are you going to be at Shelby by any chance?
