Took a quick look and did not find suggested operating frequencies for this weekend.

Is there a mobile window (i.e.  for only mobiles to call CQ in the window)? We set one up for INQP that made it a bit easier to find the mobiles with their weak signals (how about  3545, 7045, 14045 and 5 khz up?).... 

as for a phone window for mobiles, most of us can't be heard well on 75 or 40 meters so I will be searching and pouncing on those bands....  Might try calling CQ on 20 SSB if propagation looks OK.

FIXED STATIONS (especially you loud ones).... I say it every year and every year there's one or two of you that I'd like to nominate for the award for "Missed the rare one --- many times"....    If you don't listen for mobiles every few CQs we won't work you. I can't spend five minutes trying to work Cook County (again).... but you might like any one of the multipliers that our mobiles will be handing out. Check for mobiles calling you.... I keep a black list of guys that I will tune past because I wasted too much time calling them and got beat out by a string of KW stations in Ohio.

Still assembling the mobile rig and computers... running the K3 this time as the 706 crapped out. Ought to be fun.
