[GCARC] Fwd: WPX SSB AB2E SOAB TB-Wires HP

FB Dennis, same here. Can't get too thrilled about SSB, but I do enjoy if I can get a high rate going, which was not the case this weekend. Only on 75 Sat night for about an hour but that was it.

Hope you can join Tony and me for FD, Tony will be 20CW and I'll be 80CW at night, 15CW day. So you can have your pick. Tony will be in the front of the camper, I'll be set up in what is normally the bedroom, but reworked for FD.
I'm planning a special weapon for FD, a Kenwood TS-480HX I picked up, 200W out, but for FD LP we are allowed 150, so I can dial it exactly 150 or less to be safe, but should give us a little extra kick. Since it was designed as a mobile rig, I'm not sure how it will hold up under FD rfi, but I did order and install the pair of narrow CW filters for it. I'm bringing the K3 just in case, may set both up, 480 for 80CW and K3 for 15CW.
