I'm just about finished reconfiguring the station.
I have Successfully tested two of the three radios/soundcards etc. that are
here.
I expect my #2 radio to be back from Yaesu this week and will fire it up and
get it running when it gets here.

I will be talking later today with Lee about getting the Amps.

Here's what we need.

K0OU, will be providing a complete station setup.
Radio, Amp, Headphones, Footswitch, POWER/SWR meter, computer cables, etc.
for the 20M Station.
I have built an audio interface for the sound card that I assume will work
with Steve's rig.
I would like to have that a day or so ahead of time.

K0LW, Two Amps.. One for 15M and One for 80M, One foot switch, one PWR Meter

W0ZAP, I'm hoping.. has a spare Monitor we can use.. I'll call him today.
That puny 15" monitor is just aggrivating next to these 19" monitors

I plan to get one flat screen.. but spur of the moment shopping usually
costs an extra hundred dollars. I'll have it before next contest season

10M / 160M  Fully complete(1000MP/ TL922/ System Tested) (Antennas Ready)
15M Waiting for #2 1000MP, Waiting for Ampifier, computer complete needs
testing (Antenna and Rotator Ready)
20M Waiting for K0OU System (See above list) (Antenna and Rotator Ready)
40M Fully complete (1000MP / TL922 / System tested)
80M (1000MP Needs Amp and PWR Meter) (Dipole ready Needs vertical)

Looking forward to another great contest and all the commraderie that goes
along with it.
I haven't made any schedules but know when some of you will be arriving.
As always.. my hope is to keep all the active bands occupied with operators.
10 and 15M will surely close but 20/40/80 will be open all night and part of
the day.
I hope we can keep those seats filled, both days and nights.

Can I request some help on Thursday late afternoon and evening for a final
setup and check.
(K0OU)Steve... If you can not come.. let me know if I can have someone pick
up the equipment.
I'm not sure I'll get the 80M vertical up today.. We can do that then..
Computer networking, testing of audio devices etc.
Let me know if you can help.
