Hi!

Unfortunately, my work schedule is not going to permit much operation thi=
s
weekend, but we will at least get on the air during the contest and hand =
out a
few QSO's.

We'll try to activate EN34 and EN35, and if time permits (which is rather=

doubtful), we'll try to swing over to Eau Claire at some point and activa=
te
those grids.

While mobile, we will be on 146.55 FM, and also 223.5 FM.  We won't have =
any
other antennas available while mobile, so we'll make stops for 6 and 432,=
 but
just with the rubber duck antenna.  While this doesn't sound like much, w=
e did
work from St. Anthony to St. Croix Falls in the UHF contest on 432 with t=
he
rubber duck, so we should still be able to hand out some contacts.

I'll probably be working both days, but I'll try to hand out some contact=
s
mobile to and from work (from St. Paul to Eagan on 35E), probably just on=
 2m
FM.  Both of us will probably do some minimalist roving on Saturday eveni=
ng.

73 & Good luck in the contest,
