Well, it turns out that a couple of more key folks are iffy for the contest dates so I've made the decision to NOT go to the mountain-top.  Instead we will operate from here at my QTH in EM84 again.  Maybe we'll get some good propagation this time.  Jim is taking care of changing the reservation deposit at Mile High to September.

Much less work to do to get ready for the contest too.  Antennas for 6, 2, 222 and microwave are still in the air along with the 2m EME antennas so when we have a workday sometime we'll only have to put the omni's and 432 back up.  Also the 6, 222, 2m EME and microwave stations are still set up and I have been using them.  No problem to get the other two back or I can leave my own equipment set up.

I only have beds for 7 or so in the house so some folks will have to commute or they could camp out.  Plenty of space for that.  Also room for a couple of cots and sleeping bags in the house too.  If anyone wants to bring a travel trailer there is space for that too especially if you can help put a second person up.

If some folks want to come on Friday evening, that will be OK also, but we won't have a lot of work to do, just BS time.  And we'll do the usual meet for lunch at Roosters on Saturday for those of you on the way up and that will also take care of lunch for Sat.  I'll send another email later about food sign up.  Since we'll be here, maybe Jerry will cook one of his world famous briskets for us (hint-hint!).

We had a good time at the SVHFS conference in Morehead KY over the weekend and are back now planning for Dayton and the contest.

73, Bob
