[MAMS] August MAD Saturday Aug 6 AM

[Zack Widup]

We have a "chance of rain" (30%) here over the weekend. If I'm lucky it
won't affect me too much. Last year I had a cloudburst with strong winds on
Sunday afternoon (but I think that was the Sept. QSO Party) and had to
rapidly lower all my antennas.

Yes, during the contests only amateur radio means are allowed for making
contacts. No cell phones for scheduling during the contest. We can make
skeds by any means including phone and e-mails before the contest starts,
though.

I'll be swinging my beams all over for the contest, including St. Louis way,
so hopefully we can cross paths.

73, Zack W9SZ
