[Fourlanders] January VHF Sweepstakes

[Jim Worsham]

I would like to use the K3 to see how it performs.  We can live without the
pan display for this contest.  Frankly, now that I have used that on the
FT2000 in June and September I find it to be more of a novelty than a useful
tool but others may disagree.  The internet access we had this past year was
much more useful and is almost a must have in my mind for packet spots,
checking propagation, etc.  That reminds me, Bob will we have DSL/internet
available up there?  If not, we are going to need to score Bills cellular
data card again and check to make sure that it works at Bobs place.  Scott,
I am going to need to integrate the K3 into my 6 meter station so I need to
either borrow it from you for a couple of weeks before the contest or set
everything up at your place and get it running.  I am OK either way, just
let me know.  Another contest in just a few weeks, I am starting to get
excited!

73
Jim, W4KXY

Count me in for the 2m station.

Jim, for the 6m station the offer is there for the K3 if you want to  
try it out.  I won't have the LP-Pan unit by then so you won't have  
your fancy display for the wall though.  Let me know off list and  
we'll work out the details.
