After looking at all the counties that will be covered, and totalling up the
miles between the "3-county" points, I found that I bit off more than I
could chew .... 404 miles of driving in an 8 hour contest means no tie to
park at the three county points

So instead of 18 counties I am shooting for 16 counties and 220 miles of
driving... I likely will work CW at the county lines (stationary) and SSB on
the move (It may work out better the other way around). So it looks like a
50/50 split regarding modes.

CW will be 20 and 40 meters, SSB will be 40 and either 20 or 15 meters... I
have only two antenna mounts, so I may try a tuner on the 40 instead of
stopping and changing Hamsticks for 15

Start at Coles/Moultrie/Shelby ....
either Clay/Fayette/Marion or Christian/Montgomery/Shelby (still calcualting
time needed on back roads)
Crawford/Lawrence/Richland
Cumberland/Effingham/Jasper
Finish at Clark/Edgar

Don't forget to spot ALL the mobiles on packet, if you have it.... I won't
get the spots, but it's nice to have somebody to work.

See you all Sunday
