> The usual caveats apply, this is an ambitious, but realizable schedule, but if the band is open, we may stay in some grids longer and get behind schedule. On the other hand, if there is no one to work, we may pull up stakes early.

> Bill has a high performing rover setup. On six, a K3/P3 combo feeds a PAR Moxon at 12.5 ft above the pavement. On two, a K2 feeds a DEMI transverter, which in turn feeds a TE Systems 350 Watt amplifier to an 8 ft Yagi about 10 ft above the pavement. With two ops, we will operate while in motion, including rotating the beams. We both operate CW.

> Look for us, and hope for good conditions. - KK6MC and W7QQ
