Not completely sure of my plans, but at least earlier in the week I'll be
off on a DXpedition.
After the FB time with W1AW/8 in August (I was in FL for the first OH
W1AW/8 week), and noting a nearby state that was pretty low in the W1AW numbers,
I contacted the folks to our south, and will be heading there to help out
with W1AW/8 in West Virginia.
I'm not exactly sure of the plan, but several of us will be operating at
WV8T near Charleston. I had never heard of this station, but if you check out
his QRZ page, it looks pretty impressive. I expect to have some pretty
good pileups.
CQWW plans are not known. N8II will be doing a W1AW/8 SOSB10 from his QTH
in eastern WV. Several guys are presently signed up for random SSB slots
during WW. I don't know if they understand what they will be finding on the
bands when they show up :-).
The CQWW decision is not in my hands, but if the WV organizers would
approve, maybe a single band effort? I'm sure if I did I could set an all time
record for the number of zero point QSOs.

p.s. I'll also be on the road this Saturday, lending a hand to the NY NCC
folks who are now in charge of the New York QSO Party. I'll be taking a
leisurely rove around the Finger Lakes during the daylight hours, with my 33
Foot HamStick. Get on and say hello! NYQP starts earlier than most at 10
AM EDT.
