Hello NJ Hams:

This is Tim, N8LXR, in Philadelphia.

I am looking for someone to team up with during the 2002 NJ QSO Party, August 
17th and 18th, as I will try to mount a statewide Mobile Class effort.

You must have a valid driver's license and be able to drive a stick shift, as 
I am looking for someone to share driving and operating responsibilities with.

A fellow CW OP would be ideal, but phone OPS are welcome too.

Our equipment will be as follows:  2001 Toyota Tacoma, Yaesu FT 100D, High 
Sierra
HS 1500 Screwdriver Antenna, and a completely independent 12 volt power 
system:
300 amp hour, absorbed glass mat, deep cycle battery, 40 amp microprocessor
controlled charger, and a 3 KW AC generator mounted in the pick-up's bed.

I also have recently installed an IBM 486 Computer using NA Contesting 
Software, to log and dupe with.  All CW is also computerized using the 486.

There is also a FB operating "desk" mounted on the passenger side, complete 
with
solid operating surface, the computer, an MFJ 490X Memory Keyer, and a pair 
of Bencher BY 1 Paddles.

In the Pa QSO Party, before installing the IBM 486, this rig took 3rd in the 
PAQP Mobile Class last October, and I recently garnered 600 contacts in the 
2002 FD Mobile Class with it as well.

Its a rig installed with competitive mobile contesting as its main objective.

The first day of the Contest (August 17th) I plan to open in  CAPE MAY COUNTY,
and will spend the entire day covering South Jersey.  The second day (August 
18th),
I will try to cover North Jersey, depending on activity.

Overnight accommodations are available at my home in Philadelphia, or I can 
pick you up at your NJ QTH, so long as its not too far out of the way from my 
trip down to
CAPE MAY to beging the contest the afternnoon of August 18th (contest starts 
at 4 PM EST).

Please e mail me at [email protected] to set up a time that we can talk on the 
phone, if interested.

73 to all!
