[MAMS] MAD activity for 4 Febuary (may be in the rain)?

[Dave Calvert]

Zack,
We are suppose to get heavy rain and lightning!  It's the lightning that bothers me!  This site is pretty high up
and I don't want my antenna rack milted down.  I wouldn't want to set up the 24 Gig as it takes up a small
table and two marine batteries (nice weather only band!)   : (
 
I will cancel this time unless the weather plays out tonight......
73,
Dave

We have rain in the forecast for Saturday, too. If I go to the hill in EN50rl, I have some commitments that would require me to leave there at about 8:30 CST. If I got set up around 7 am, that would give me an hour and a half or thereabouts.

I could take 2304 thru 10G and maybe 1296. I don't think I'll take 144 MHz or 902. We could try 24 GHz but I really doubt we would make it if conditions are anything like they were in the contest two weeks ago.

73, Zack W9SZ
