The Indiana QSO Party is tomorrow!

 I'm still planning my portable expedition to the border of Washington 
and Scott counties.

Due to weather considerations....  I'm scaling back a bit, but will 
still be on.

The forecast is for rain, rain, rain, and thunder storms.....  And even 
better, cold temps too!   So, I'm going to abandon the tent and sleeping 
bag idea, and stay in my truck.  I should still be able to get the 
dipoles in the trees from the back corner of the parking lot, then run 
the feed lines to my truck where it will be warm and dry:-)   Then, at 
contest end, I can pull in the wires and head for home. The parking lot 
is not very busy this time of year anyway, and particularly with this 
weather, so it should be OK for me to operate from.

I will miss the camp out, but the weather will just be nasty here, which 
would likely make for a miserable trip.

Will be listening on the "intercom" frequency, 146.49 FM simplex full time.

Hope to work everyone!   Hey, what else is there to do on a cold, rainy 
day!  Get on the air and have some fun:-)
