Who's in? This is the first time in 6 years that I've had this weekend available and can play. Will be on the air from Goose Island, south of La Crosse as W9IDX.

I am surprised at such a sudden deterioration in a woman whose only ailment was a lazy anus.
Every year I say I want to do something in the back yard. This year I've been wanting to restring some antennas. The OCF dipole is still good but the dedicated 10m dipole needs to be redone. I've got some old cable TV coax to make elements with. I just need some extra 50 ohm coax to complete the job. Maybe I'll take down my 2m/70cm set up and use that coax. Maybe I'll purchase some mini 8 locally.
I'll be at K2AA, 6A SNJ again this year, 20m CW. Refurbished 4 element monobander going up on the AB-577 tower. Last year we had a bit over 1000 Q's. First hour last year, I had a 99/hour.
A friend I invited a few years ago is on 40 CW, since he's a night owl. I used to do 40 with another contester, but I moved over to 20 since we were sorely lacking on that band. 40 has also netted over 1000 Q's each year.
We have a blast.

I may get a couple of friends over and introduce them to amateur radio by playing in the shack...or I might take a rig, PSU and peripherals to a lady friend's house and put her place on the air for the evening.
Maybe I'll do the bicycle mobile thing again...

My prediction is that I will drink more beers than the total number of QSO's I make, but fun will be had by most.

I have 5 cases of the high-power stuff here, and the QRO position is set up for max fault tolerance in case of operator stupididity. Last time we did this, two beers apiece were consumed and maybe 20 contacts were made before we moved the fun outside to my fire pit...Originally Posted by KC9ECI

I’ll be doing the late evening shift from W3C (N3SH) again this year. Maybe a little at the start, since I’ll be there to help setup as well.
Late afternoon & early evening? We’re taking the grandkids to a church carnival. Which will be a very nice surprise to them, they have no idea.
I may also be on a little from home early afternoon or Sunday morning as 1E. Need 9 more states on 10, and 9 on 15, to complete WAS on each of those bands. Propagation willing, might be able to whittle those numbers down a little.

If that’s the lady you introduced to me a few years back at Breezeshooters... you’re going over to her place to play radio? What are you, meshugah?

Would OR be one of those states Ron?
Like that post was...
Moving on, my posts are not helpful
No, but I’ll work you anyway!
