[ILQSO] KJ9C still in limbo

[Mel Crichton]

I will wait to see what Jeff NY4N claims.... I see a lot of white space on the map in the south and east..... 

Having problems with the replacement laptop... as my luck would have it, it needs more than 14 volts to operate..... won't run on 12 or 13.8 (both available in the car)... got a TrippLite inverter and a DC-DC adapter both on order....  Charging up the gel cells to run the DC-DC (quieter than plugging into the cig lighter), then when they die will run down the laptop battery and then switch to the inverter... Hope I don't need the inverter.

Because of the uncertainty of reliable reception, I will likely shoot for fewer counties this year. Jeff, hope you can play this year.
