Hey folks,

I will be on 144, 222, and 432 SSB/CW. There remains a slight chance
I might get 50 MHz up and running in time. I entered my info in the
K1RZ/W3SZ database but forgot to enter liaison info and the system
doesn't seem to be letting me add it. I can be found on ON4KST
144/432 Region 2 or I can be reached by email.

(50: 1.5 kW, 13 dBi at 105' *** IF ready in time ***)
144: 1.5 kW, 16 dBi at 110'
222: 800 watts, 18 dBi at 117'
432: 130 watts, 21 dBi at 113'

This was to be the summer of my "great return" with more bands, more
power, and much more active. But life is often full of surprises. In
April I got life altering news. Don't worry, it was GOOD news.
Though it means a very busy and stressful 6 to 18 months and a tear
down of my station for a while it also brings promise of a better
and more comfortable life with more time for ham radio on the other
side! Onward and upward!

73,
Paul N1BUG FN55mf
