Plans have been changing a lot this week, but I'm intending to
do an expanded rove beyond the usual WNY, past Syracuse,
into Massachusetts and nearby grids.  

Will probably start working over the FN02/03/12/13 corner on Saturday,
and push east on Sunday.  I'm not posting a schedule or list of grids, but
they range to FN31, 32, 33.  Some sites are entirely new from map study.  
Its going to be a bit of an adventure, maybe camping, too.

Setting 222 and 432 stacks side-by-side which make enough room to
stack 2x6 on 2M, and still keep the top under 12 feet, but easily pushed to 20.
I'm hoping that will extend the 2M range.  Three elements on 6M, folded Yagi.
Running ~100w except 25w on 222.

Should be able to check or monitor 223.5 FM and 146.55 FM at times on 2nd RX, 
and may even have a cheap SDR display if that goes well.

Last two outings this summer both ran into equipment problems.  Hoping this one
is a lot better.  

Have a good contest.

73, David  AB2YI
