None I know of.  I know Jason, KB5URQ would be interested as well.  I
would bet that Chris WB5ITT would be interested as well.  And I'd
surely come along and play too!

Right now I don't have any horizontal antennas but I could get by
KB6KQ loop out and up quickly enough.  Of course we could play in the
vertical mode as well.  Thats OK for local contacts but limits you
from any decent range.

In about a year we're moving up near Magnolia where I'm planning on
building a SOLP V/UHF contest station for 50/144/222/430 SSB.  This
part of the move is taking on a life all of its own.  Right now I'm
already looking at close to $10,000 just for the tower, concrete,
antennas, & feedline.
