[Fourlanders] contest update

[Jim Worsham]

The thing is Bob that when I objected last year she said she did call Glenn and he said no to the Golf cart.  She obviously lied.  Be sure to bring Glenn's number with you Bob so you can call him if we have more issues.  I try to work with these people as best I can to keep a good relationship but every year it is a new person and some new problem.  I am getting tired of it myself.  We will see what happens this outing.  Looking forward to seeing everyone on the mountain.

He will meet us at the campground later on Friday.  Jim W4KXY was free and will pull that trailer as he has done many times before.  So we are good to go on trailers and pullers.

No propagation then so couldn't tell if the out-of-phase setting would help.  That will be something we will look for in the contest.  After we finished testing, Jim and I took down the 6m antennas.  Johnny came on Sunday and we took down the 2m antennas and checked out the BlackHawk trailer tires and lights, etc.

All tires have been pressure checked, lights checked, etc.  I even removed all four wheels from my Red trailer to adjust the new springs and then reinstalled the wheels.  Starting to load some more things all this week when I have time.  I have also completed the changes I have been making to the 222 station and it is ready to go also.
