Via the grapevine I hear the good folks in Walton will have several station on 
the air.
Walton ARC has always been active, and we hope to see them in the fray.

So, as a group, I think there will be Wonderous Wailing from the Walton Wags.



I think we will have some crowded bands tomorrow, particularly at the kickoff at 
2PM.
Purely as a suggestion.. I would recommend that folks spread out a bit when 
possible.
If the rovers spread +/-  5 around the recommended freqs, and the fixed stations 
spread up a bit from +5, it may help.
This might get the mobiles out of the signals from the home stations who 
generally have more power and antennae.
If it is really crowded, that "5" might need to be "10" or more.

And GA stations often do not hear the other GA station, being too close.
So giving a bit of space/time when folks call other calls on your freq would be 
a kind consideration.

Other wise, let the mayhem roar, and have fun.

Any new bits that arrive will be posted quickly or at least by tonight.

At home:
My rovermobile is tuning up pretty well, the Scorpion screwdriver antenna now 
tunes 10-80 very well.
The SGC amp is happy and perks along at 300-450W on all bands, but I do not 
always use it.
The Truck runs rough on 20 while transmitting, so I will have to turn it off for 
20M operation.  (more ferrites)
But I do not operate while driving, so no problems.  
Today I will shake out the software....

Fair temp and partly sunny sky is ahead for both days...
