This year the SMBS Microwave contest is sched for Sat April 30th (2.3G and 
up) for a 24 hr period.
The ETDXA Microwave Sprint is the following Saturday, May 7th.
Currently, I was thinking of heading up to Camelback FN21hb with my rover 
for April 30th, as the window of opportunity is longer for operating. I have 
gear thru 24G + LASER. I may also have another 10 & 24 GHz station and op 
tagging along.
For the Microwave Sprint, (903 & up) it is likely that we would do some 
local operating from FN20 and/or FM29.
I'd like to get some feedback on how many microwave equipped stations in the 
Northeast and Mid-Atlantic are planning to operate these events. Thanks for 
feedback--it helps my planning, and there's nothing worse than getting 
everything ready and remotely positioned, and then having no-one to 
contact!!  Please send me email direct, or let's talk these activities up on 
the reflectors--
thanks..Rick, K1DS/R
