[NLRS] January contest plans for N0AKC

[Charlie Betz]

I plan to be on from home this weekend.  I am still trying to resolve some issues, but the lineup should be the following:

6M: 100 watts & 5 elements @ 73'
2M: 1KW & 17 elements @ 80'
222  some level of power and 23 elements@ 55'
432: 200 watts and 38 elements @ 58'
902 40 watts and 33 elements @ 60'
1296: 15 watts and 55 elemnts @ 60'
2304: 1 watt and 76 elements @ 50'


I need to make a run up the tower Saturday morning to bypass my blown preamp on 222.  My 222 amp is limping along, but I plan to run it at whatever power level it will give me, which currently looks like about 100 watts (as apposed to the 500 watts it should do).  432 has had intermittent sticking relays, so I don't know how long that is going to play nice.  If push comes to shove I will drop back to the barefoot 736. I have developed a very bad line noise problem to my northwest, which is going to plague me on 6 & 2, but I will try to fight through it.  I will probably have 2304 up, but I honestly don't expect to work much with my meager power.  It is there to try for anyone who would like to give it a shot.  

I hope to have 222 and 432 straightened out by June.  I have parts for a 60 watts amp for 2304, now I just need time to get it mounted on a heatsink and wired up.  I also have a 50 watt amp and 112 element yagi (still in the box) for 3456, but no transverter.  Hopefully I will find time before June to get all these projects taken care of.
