Who's heading out there this weekend? Any Islanders I can expect to hear? :)
I'll probably be splitting my time between 75 phone Saturday night and 40/15 phone otherwise. W4EZ, 9A battery again. 5 watts offutilityfun...
Kind of wanted to take a spin at one of the CW stations this year, but I took a few months off from practicing and I'm nowhere near ready :quiet:

W4EZ - Whiskey Four Echo Zannnnnnnnnnnnnnzibarrrrrrr
Yeah, in the past IL's been an easy shot. Only state I haven't consistently heard is Alaska - Hawaii's been fairly easy unless the solar cycle is completely bottomed out.

Listen for WA6BGS BIG GREEN SPIDER for a loud sig on 20M. That will be my 1965 Hallicrafters SR-400 and a 3 element tribander at 100Ft!
I'll be working PSK-31 on 15m as K6SEE during the day and probably on 20 and 40 late at night after the other old farts go to bed.
All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
Damn....already?
No plans here...and this area will be heavily represented anyway.
Well, unless Luke wants to party and play radio ;)

One of those years when the 4th full weekend isn't the last weekend - I know, that week makes it feel early for me too.

Going to a family reunion in IA, in the little roadster. I've thought about it, and might throw something together. But if it's an extra pair of shoes vs the radio? Well...

Caused a screw-up with my club's reservation at our normal FD operating site, too, so we were forced to wing it at the last minute this year and set up at the Lakeside (CA) FD HQ. From a PR and emergency readiness standpoint, this actually makes more sense than the usual place way up in the woods (and allows us to operate as a Class F) but it's a really crappy location for radio—no clear shot to the northeast due to an adjacent hillside.
