[InHam] Indiana QSO Party 2017

[Dan Evans]

I'm finally ready.
Been working on preparations for the last few weeks.  Once again, I will be doing a portable operation over in Harrison county.
The rig is mounted in the truck, and working well.
I dug out the portable wire antenna, mast, and feed line.  I found a break in the rain long enough to test and confirm everything is still in working condition.
I downloaded the latest version of N3FJP's logger for the INQP.  This was important!  The county abbreviations have changed this year, so be sure to update your software!!
I have my trusty bow ready to launch antennas into trees  :-)
I have my key and headphones ready.  CW as needed.
I couldn't get the voice keyer configured with the laptop.  This is a bummer.  I will try to trouble shoot more tomorrow during slow times, but if I can't get it to work I will have to call CQ the old fashioned way.  #no voice on Sunday :-(
Mobiles and Rovers, watch out for flooded roads!  We have had a ton of rain in the last couple of weeks down here.  All of the low lying areas are under water.
If you can't find me, try me on the 146.85 Clark County Amateur Radio Club repeater. There is no tone, and I monitor it most of the time. I would be happy to run the HF bands with you if your are close.  (I didn't see anything in the rules that prohibits this, someone let me know if I'm wrong.)
73 All, and have a great time!
