[MAMS] The new list

[Zack Widup]

Hi Mike,

I live in Urbana, IL. I don't have any microwave antennas at home, though,
so I usually go to a nearby hill. There is a great hill about 45 miles from
where I live, in EN50rl. It's about 10 miles west of Gibson City, IL.

We should be able to work. I've worked K8TQK from there a few times and I've
worked Milwaukee, which is 240 miles away, up through 2304 fairly often. I
also once worked W9SNR, who was in Port Washington WI, through 10 GHz from
that hill.

I go up there fairly often on skeds to work people on microwave bands.
During the week I can get up there and be set up by 7 am Central time, and
can stay till 8 am when I need to pack up and go to work. On weekends I
often have more time available. Microwave Activity Day (MAD) is the first
Saturday morning of every month. It's a time when we can get on the air and
make some QSO's (or try to). It's not a contest or anything. But it usually
gets put on hold during the winter as it's harder to operate portable then.

I'll have to miss MAD tomorrow, I'm afraid.

73, Zack W9SZ
