[VHFcontesting] EN39 VE3/KC8QVO final update

[steve d]

Well, Im in the process of loading up the truck. Ill be packing  everything and heading out ASAP. So Ill make this my final update  before the trip.
  
  As of right now we will be in EN39 Friday evening. The sun usually sets  up there about 9:30-10:00 centrail time so Ill probably be able to get  a rig up on the air on my screwdriver antenna that night. Ill leave the  40m vert and VHF/UHF beams for later.
  
  Saturday we are going to a party back in the states. It is at 2:00  central time, so we will head out at noon. I cant say for sure what  time we will be back, but my guess is it will be around 8-9:00. So that  takes care of most of saturday. I can probably get my beams assembled  and ready to put up between what time I have friday and saturday. 
  
  Sunday Ill put the beams up. Hopefully I can get everything set up  right. I am pretty confident I can get them up after my Field Day  trial. I know what to expect and I have a few problems corrected, so it  will only be easier.. I hope.
  
  I will be on the air periodically until Wed afternoon with the beams.  Ill need to start dissasembling things that afternoon. We are going to  leave Thursday evening. Ill leave my screwdriver up so I can stay on  the air and catch any last minute 6m openings thursday.
  
  Remember, Ill be around 7.280-7.300 when Im on the air so youll have an  alternate way to contact me for a sked or whatever. If 6m (or any other  band) gets hopping pretty hot I wont be paying attention to 40m. Ill  have my hands tied on VHF. 
  
  73's and hope to hear you in the pileups!
  Steve, (VE3/)KC8QVO
