Sounds good to me.  Scott is taking the lead on 2 but we will need operators
for both bands (especially if 6 is open) so I am sure we will keep you busy.
As I am sure you know, spare gear never hurts.  Bring whatever you can.
Plan now is to use Scotts K3 and Bobs Commander amplifier on 6.  Scott will
most likely use his 746pro and my Commander 2 meter amplifier like he did in
September (if you have other plans Scott speak up).  To keep things as
simple and stress free as possible I suggest we set everything up at Bobs
place the weekend before the contest.  Then all we have to do is show up at
Bobs place around noon on contest day ready to operate.  Then we will be
real contesters at least according to K5QE!

Hi guys-

 

I would like to participate, and preferably operate on 6 and or 2. Plus I'll
bring anything you need and help with setup, etc.  I can bring my K3 as a
backup on 6, if desired.

 

73,

 

Steve, K4RF

I am a go for 6 meters.  Scott and I had talked about using his K3 instead
of the FT2000 just to see how the K3 performs on 6 during a contest.  Scott,
are you still game to do that?  Otherwise the FT2000 is ready to go.  The
only issue is that I will have to leave Sunday afternoon.  I have a flight
out in the early evening for a business trip.

I was reminded the other day that we had talked about doing the January 
contest this year from my new location in Dahlonega.  It is the weekend 
of the 17th.  Offer is still valid.  Let's hear from folks interested in 
doing this and get some planning going.  I'm sure a few of us will 
discuss this tomorrow night at Jim's Christmas party, but let's also 
hear from other folks interested in participating.  The house isn't 
finished and the interior changes to the building aren't finished, but I 
think we can set up a four band operation pretty easily, mostly using 
the operating trailer.

73 and Merry Christmas to all

Bob W4ZST
