Well now,

It's time again to see if I can transport all the Microwave gear to the
mountain and attempt to make some noise and log a few contacts. I will be on
the air around 7:00am and will atop Upper Hawksbill in FM08tn Skyline Drive
3400asl. I hope to have the following:

903 - 75 watts and a 22 Element Looper
1296 - 120 Watts and 2 - M2 EZ 22 Element Yagi's Stacked
2304 - 70 Watts and a 3x2 Dish (21dbd)
3456 - 60 Watts and a 3x3 Dish (25dbd)
5760 - 4 Watts and a 90cm Dish (26dbd)

I will have about 200 Watts on 2 meters for liason and will wander around
144.260 looking for Microwave Contacts.
Please send me a note pretty quick if you are interested in a sked. I hope
the weather and conditions are good and activity high.

Get on the air no matter what gear you have , I will do my best to work you.
This is a perfect time to check out the Microwave gear for June.

Respecfully
Steve - W4SHG

I have my anti-Murphy ointment for this trip ................. :)
