We've put the move the country off for right now so next week-end the
Diamond DP-GH62 http://www.rfparts.com/diamond/dpgh62.html is going
up.  I will probably choose to load it up around 50.200 since the
bandwidth is pretty narrow.  This will allow me to cover SSB and maybe
try to make some AM contacts too!

And like I said if you need to know the state ... you just ask.  And I
have a cheap GPS in the car along with a 1:1,000,000 map that I've
laid the grids out on. The map is just big enough unless I'm right on
the edge of a sqaure I am sure where I'm at.  If not I just consult
the GPS real quick.
