[SECC] QRP Fox Hunt on 40M tonight

[John Laney]

Hello all:

Sorry this is a bit late.  I will be one of the Foxes (along with Dale, 
WC7S) on 40 M CW tonight. I will be hiding between 7030 and 7050.  It 
runs from 0200 UTC until 0330 UTC and I will hang in there until the 
end, no matter what the conditions are.  Remember that the skip on 40M 
will often shorten up toward the end of the period, so, if we are too 
close for the first part, keep checking back.  I will be using my 
FT1000MP, with the WM-2 QRP wattmeter, at 5 watts output into either of 
two antennas that work well on 40M.  For N/S I have an 88 foot center 
fed zepp at 45 feet height.  For E/W, I have a 40M coax fed half wave 
dipole at 40 feet.  I will start out calling CQ on the zepp to try to 
work any east coast before the skip goes longer, but will switch back 
and forth between antennas, depending on what calls I hear.  I will no 
doubt be split, listening up one to one and a half kHZ.  When the pile 
up dies down, I will listen on my own frequency.  The exchange is RST, 
Name, SPC, power output.  To count, you must be running 5 watts output 
or less.  No spotting permitted, as this is a Fox HUNT.  Good hunting. 
I hope to work you all tonight.  73/72, John, K4BAI.
