I'll keep an ear out for you but I will only be active on Sunday, from
EN50rl as a QRP-Portable. Weather forecast is for warmer temps (~45) but
rain. I don't mind a little rain, though.

I should have 144 thru 10368 and maybe 50 MHz. Hopefully conditions aren't
totally wiped out this year!

73, Zack W9SZ
