[Fourlanders] Probable Change of QTH

[James Worsham]

We will be sorry to see you go Johnny but completely understand that life sometimes takes you in a different direction.  At least we get to work with you for at least one more contest.  Hopefully I will not get sick this time.  I would really like to get a chance to try out a Flex and the Maestro.

That possibility is starting to look much more like a probably sometime late Spring/early Summer 2018.  Currently the two formal roles I play with FourLanders are 6m Band captain and Great White hauler when we go to the mountains.  I am certain I will be here for the January contest.  My current plan is to run that contest using a Flex, either my 6700, or my 6600 if it arrives in time and my Maestro on 6m.  Not sure if I will have my own 6m amp by then or if we will have to use Bob's again - TBD.

This is not a definite yet but a change from possible to probable.  It is going to take a while, especially with the Great White truck requirement, to find an alternate solution.  Out of respect for FourLanders I wanted you all to have lots of time to work on all of this.
