[Fourlanders] [6 Meter Sked] K4ESA/R Plans for CQVHF EM73, 74, 75, 83, 84, 85

[Bob Mantell]

I did not include this in the first email, but I plan to operate/call on 50..185 and 144.185 +/-  other traffic  
 
Hope to hear you again then, I worked you and a bunch of CA grids over the weekend from one of my stopping points in  the north end of EM74.

Hi Bob,
 
You have my blessings from DM04 in SoCal !! Go for it &
& let's hope that we have a nice 2Es opening ! If you are
really inspired , how about venturing up to KY & WV ? I
need both of those states , not to mention some of the grids
that you proposed above. Nonetheless, I'll be watching & listening
4U. Too many operators here in SoCal sandbag 50.125... con-
sider sliding up to .180 > .220 where there is less traffic.
 
        Cheers,,good DX & 73's  de KG6STU,  Stuart

I am thinking about doing a little rover action for this contest. Only having to deal with two bands should make this a good event to get my feet wet in roving, I think?
 
 Some thing like starting in EM74wv at the cabin near Blairsville , then move up a few miles to EM75 in Tenn, over to EM85 in NC near Murphy, down129 to EM84, with a stop at Brasstown Bald or other high point along HWY 60/129,  and then catch EM83 on the way home at the bottom of EM74, all Saturday if I have time. In the morning work EM74 from a high spot near the house and EM73 on Sunday from Noon on at the top of Pine Mt to finish up. Mel, K4JFF a has invited me over to work from his high spot deck...  Should have really good coverage from there.  .
  
 
I have a small yagis for 6 and 2 that will store easy in(or on?) the Astro to set up at stops  and 2m loop for talking in transit.  I have been planning to build a 6M copper squalo,  so now may become the time, unless someone has a spare 6M loop they want to get rid of.. Or I may use the Hamstick for transit stages. 
 
I picked up an FT-857D  used, and have a 2 meter 170 watt amp with preamp...
 
Any tips on  roving in this area?  Good high spots near the bottom of EM75/85 line?
