[RSM] Prep for Canada Day 'Test

[Art Boyars]

I've waited three years for Canada Day to shift away from Saturdays so I
could travel to Winnipeg again for the RAC contest.  I won't say "Alas," or
even "However," but family and home obligations will keep me at K3KU again.

Fortunately, the family/home schedule will allow me to do a major effort in
this one.  (We'll see if my body will allow it.)  I'll be looking for you
on the HF bands, both modes.

I tend to favor CW because I copy it better than voice and because it's
more effective with 100W and a dipole.  But I realize that most activity
will be on Phone (RAC says "Check for CW activity on the half-hour.")
Nonetheless, if you call me, I might ask you to try the other mode, too.

Remember to check 20/15/10 for Sporadic-E like we had in Field Day.

Questions:

* Where do you plan to start -- 20M SSB?  I want to be there for the
warm-up to see if I can make some MB QSOs right at the beginning.

* Is there any particular time to check 160M (or 10M), or do we just make
skeds during the 'Test?

I've pitched this Contest to PVRC, hoping to generate a little activity.

Good luck!  Go RSM!
