Hello!

I will be active from SM2HWG SOAB HP, probably unassisted. I am not 100% 
sure yet but I think the call will be SJ2W, if HWG has applied for that call 
yet. Otherwise I'll be using SK2KW. I've been working on electronics for 
that station during most of the spring so it will be fun to try it out.

Setup:
160M: 35m high vertical
80M: 4 square
40M: 4el mono @53m + 2el phased array
20M: 6/6el mono + 4el mono + FD4
15M: 6/6el mono + 4el mono + FD4
10M: 6/6/6el mono + 4el mono + FD4

2xFT1000D + 3 PA

I will probably spend 3/4 of the contest running on 20m. I doubt I'll get 
much DX on 40m with the beam not working properly and at this time of the 
year, but I sure do hope for some NA opening. A auto tune PA (Granger) will 
be used for 2nd radio and a newly made amp switch will be used to switch 
between amps on the run radio. I am not sure how to set that up yet but will 
go down there this weekend and fix it. We will probably run a few qsos 
during this weekend as SK2KW so listen for us :-)
