Hi all:
OK...looks like we will be in the Plainfield area- probably behind the
Village Hall if we are lucky (or somewhere else if we're not :-) ). We
will be running both SSB and Digital, so PSK'ers look for us around
3.583, 7.073, or 14.070. We will also monitor VHF for any simplex FM
stations that might be within our range (we'll monitor whatever the
recommended freq. was (146.49?) W9MSE, stop by if you come by our neck
of the woods- we'll have a cold drink (or coffee) ready for ya!
We should have up a dipole running either as flat-top or inverted V as
needed. Also if we have the trees may play with a loop or long-wire.
Also will have a Perth Outbacker as a secondary antenna...I have had
OUTSTANDING performance with it working portable HF on the road.
We'll be operating from the Fox River ARC chapter's Comm Trailer,
TS-2000 on SSB, TS-450 for PSK. This will be my first ILQP with HF
capabilities, and Matt's first contest, period! Look forward to working
you all!
