[Fourlanders] June contest kickoff

[Bob Lear]

Time to start preparations for the June contest.  I expect the usual 
band captains and stations unless I hear otherwise.

Let me know if/when you are coming so that I can organize the convoy 
with trailers and pullers needed.

That will also help with our count to make sure we have enough camping 
spaces at MileHi.

That is probably enough to get things started.

Next Saturday evening is the 6m spring sprint.  Jim and I are planning 
to do it here, probably as W4NH, and testing out the station and the SDR 
dongle Panadapter under semi-contest conditions.  He is coming up during 
the afternoon to do some other testing on the station and install an 
Audigy soundcard on the 6m computer.

Anyone else wanting to come up on Saturday (5/12) to collect gear for 
the contest, or work on things toward getting ready for the contest, 
then we will be here.  The only major thing we won't be able to do then 
is take down the 6m antennas since we will be using them for the sprint. 
  We will schedule another workday, sometime before the contest to get 
that done later.

Please let me know ASAP if any of you that are regulars have conflicts 
or may not be able to come for the entire time, etc.

Thanks, Bob
