1) The WØJT station should be QRV on 50 through 1296 MHz this weekend.
If a rover station wants to pull into my driveway, or into the park
across the street, I suppose I could drag out the 10GHz rig, but
othewise I have no hope of succeeding on that band from my QTH in EN34js
in a hole surrounded by tall trees and a big hill to my north.


John, do not despair !   The NWS has us with a good chance for snow on
Sunday .... last forecast I saw was a possible 3 ".    I would bet good
money we can work on snow scatter.   Plan to set you elevation up to just
clear the tops of the trees  .... I plan to have my 10 gig system on my
deck (also surrounded by trees !).  Looking forward to working you on all
bands this weekend !
