Out here in DM24ad, I don't really hafta worry 'bout that; everyone's to 
my east/southeast, except W7FM (about a hundred miles east of here over 
in Quartzsite, who I think I heard on in the January shindig, as well as 
a buncha other Arizonans further east). Actually, I need to find a 
smallesh rotor for my 13B2; having to run out of the trailer to turn it 
back around between east or west gets old after a quick while. And of 
course, it's dang near impossible to peak it on anyone, what with the 
radio being inside the trailer and me having to run outside to manhandle 
the pipe with 13B2 around.

I'll try to be on during the 144/432 Sprints, but ONLY CW, no voice. 
Hopefully, this time I'll get to submit a log; last time in the January 
contest, neither 3830.com nor the ARRL robot would let me submit my log 
with zero contacts  8-/ There were lots of voicers on 6, 2 and 432 from 
both Arizona and SoCal, but I couldn't understand any of them and none 
switched over to CW to answer my CQs, more's the pity.
