> The Fourlanders, W4NH, will do the ARRL June VHF QSO Party contest from
> Mile High Campground between Maggie Valley and Cherokee NC. The contest
> begins on June 11 through June 13, 2011.  The contest starts at 2PM on
> Saturday and runs until 11PM on Sunday evening.  Jim has confirmed our
> reservations with the campground and we are on track for the September
> contest also.
>
> Friends are invited to visit and operate with us for the contest. You
> can also come and camp out too as we will have plenty of camping spaces.
>  It is also perfectly OK for visitors to get in on our food list, just
> do let Jeff and I know which meals you would be there for.  Breakfast,
> lunch and dinner usually run about $3, $4 and $5 each.
> Anyone needing directions, please let me know and I'll e-mail them to you.
>
> As of right now, I expect the usual band captains to bring the VHF
> stations.  I am not sure about my plans for the microwave station this
> year as the red trailer is an issue at this time.  I will keep the group
> informed, but at present I am leaning toward not having microwave.
> So, if I need to take over as band captain for one of the VHF bands, let
> me know as I will be available for that.  Anyone needing to borrow any
> gear for their stations, just let us know.
>
> Jeff will be coming and doing the cooking.  He told me this week he is
> working on the menu already.  We will send out a food sign up list
> closer to the contest.
>
> This should get things rolling.  Put the dates on your calendar and let
> me know about participating.
>
> Also let me know if there are any changes in the usual trailer pulling
> arrangements as follows:
>
> Brian NX9O pulling Great White
> Ron WW8RR pulling the Generator
> Scott NN4W pulling his white trailer with 222 tower and the FOOD!
> Ivan K4VJM pulling his Red Trailer for the 6m station
> Bill KI4US pulling the 6m tower trailer
> Bob W4ZST pulling a small tower trailer for 2 or 432
> Jim W4KXY "
> If Ron would rather have his small trailer rather than one of these we
> can work that out.
> That should take care of all the operating positions and antenna towers.
> We will leave the W4ZST QTH around 9AM on Friday June 10
>
> Do let me know what you think about back up generators.  Should we take
> the two that we did last fall?
>
> I have taken the 2m antennas down recently and will start taking down
> the 6m antennas after I do the 6m sprint with them tonight.  I also plan
> to work on realigning the elements on the lower 6m beam.
>
> Please let me know of anything I have overlooked for this first contest
> communique.  Looking forward to another great time on the mountain.
