Howdy Joe,

I felt sure you folks had this covered, and my thanks to you for confirming
it.

Good luck to all of the W3UU team!  Go for the record!!

First, to address another comment, and with all due respect (really), I 
think this is a GREAT idea!  You want a club to get out the bonus QSOs, 
here you go.  Bob, allow me to allay any fears you might have about 
IDs.  As one-half of the mobile team, we will identify as 
W3UU/M/County.  That was already planned, at least in my pea brain, because 
of possible fixed/mobile station confusion.  Last year we generally 
identified as KB3CO/County after answering all the "where are you" 
questions when signing KB3CO/M.  Signing M/County is no big deal.  Now, I 
can't guarantee that at midnight we'll keep it all straight, but we'll 
try.  It will, of course, be easier on SSB.

I really don't think the multiple W3UUs will be that hard to tell apart so 
long as we do our jobs IDing.  And if it turns out to be a not so hot idea, 
well, it wouldn't be the first time a thought that was "out of the box" 
didn't quite work.  Don't think it'll come to that.

As soon as we get our county line-up one of us will post it.  Should be 
some really good ones.  And we reserve the right to do a half-time course 
correction if a nearby county turns out to be under represented.  I don't 
know about anyone else, but I'm in this for the good time.

73, Joe KQ3F
