[PaQSO] W3USA/M Back This Year

[Hal Offutt]

Hi Everyone,

I've been enjoying the various discussions about QRP, CW points, etc.  as=
 I
slave away here at my work in Japan.  Definitely is whetting my appetite
for the event of the year.  I'll be returning to PA on 9/29 and I have
managed to keep a free schedule from October 5 all the way through the PA=

QSO weekend, so unless something really unexpected comes up, I'll be back=

mobiling this year.  I've done some work to the ole '86 Chevy and she's
running pretty well now, but I want to plan a fairly easy trip this year =
so
as not to put too much strain on her.  Unfortunately, leaving and coming
back to MOE where we're at 2,000 feet is the biggest strain - the car jus=
t
doesn't like these long, long hills around here.  Some of you might
remember that she was severely disabled after climbing that long hill on
476 in CAR two years ago.  I just barely made it home that year.

So I'm definitely not going to be doing a WA3RA-type marathon.  I'll
probably drive out to UNI and back on Saturday like I usually do, hitting=

those beautiful counties of SUL, COL, MTR, NHA, and  UNI in the day, and
driving back through NHA, MTR, COL,, LUZ, CAR and MOEafter dark on
Saturday) and do something around NE PA on Sunday.  =


Only two weeks to go!

73,
