This is mainly for information when deciding on what to do with  the circle. 

First, if I get bumped out of the circle in order to bring more members into it, that really should be the thing to do. (and my feelings will not be ruined!)

The coordinates of my QTH in Cecil are : 31.4N  and 83.34 W.

I run high power and always run single op for contest. I run a Ten Tec Orion and Titan 3 amp, back up is an Omni 6 plus and Titan 425 amp. My 80m dipole fed with 600' of open wire feeders seems to work OK on all bands except 160 and 30m. I have a 2 element EDZ wire yagi (14.7dBi) going up right after the upcoming SS contest. I plan to put up a loop for 20m pointed toward Seattle for the SS, after which it comes down. Towers, etc., will not be for a while yet.

These are the contest I presently plan on getting into:

CQP
GQP
SS
CQ WW DX CW
ARRL DX CW
All Asian
Other QSO Party contest
WAE

I operate only CW contest, so should not be counted on for any SSB contest (mike fright!).

Again, if it's necessary to bump me out of the circle in order to get more members, please feel free to do so.

73,

Tom - W4BQF
