I have decided to give the MARAC contest a try in northern Florida on SSB. I will run the counties at or below 3850, 7250, 14270 & 21400. These are the only four bands. I will hopefully be able to spot myself in most of these counties as Verizon wireless has excellent coverage on their 3g network. On Friday night I will try to run the following counties on 40 & 75 meters when the contest starts at 0001 GMT May 1st: 

Bradford, Clay, Duval, Nassau, Baker, Columbia, Union & Alachua. 

I have no idea about the day or time these counties will be run as I have to stop in each county, because there is no way I want to record every qso and have to log them later. On Saturday and Sunday I will try to run the following counties in this order: 

Putnam, St Johns, Flagler, Volusia, Lake, Marion, Citrus, Levy, Gilchrist, Dixie, Lafayette, Hamilton, Suwannee, Madison, Jefferson, Leon, Gadsden, Jackson, Liberty, Wakulla, Taylor, Columbia & Alachua 

I hope to see many if you in the contest. There is a small chance that I might not be able to make this trip because of personal reasons.  If you do not see me spotting myself then I am probably not there.
