[Mldxcc] CQP This Weekend

[Alan Maenchen]

I was at 3D2C last year so my score was zero.  Hope to make it up this time.
I'm doing a county expedition to Tulare county.
Courtesy of US Towers, I now have an A3 mounted at 110ft !!  Dumb laptop
wont read my camera or I'd include a photo here.
Spent the day putting up that antenna and some low band dipoles hanging off
that tower.

Goal is 1500 QSOs. Hope propagation holds up. It looks quite good right now.

73, Alan  AD6E
