[MAMS] MAD weekend, July 2nd

[Zack Widup]

I wold really like to. Earlier I was thinking of driving to Chicago to try
to work Jim W9SNR with my new 24 GHz transverter on Saturday.

But I have some front-end work on my car to do. The ball joints and tie rods
were/are shot. I replaced the ball joints on Saturday and the front end is
more evidently out of alignment now. The tires are also in pretty bad shape.
I have to replace the tie rods before I can even consider having it aligned.
Replacing the tie rods is probably going to be a 6 to 8 hour job. I'm not
likely to have it done by Saturday afternoon.

I may consider driving to somewhere closer to operate on Saturday. Maybe
EN60af, which should have a clear shot to St. Louis, and EN50xf a couple
hundred feet away, which has a clear shot to Chicago. I'd feel comfortable
driving to this location.

73, Zack W9SZ
