[PaQSO] Plans - W3CG

[Peter Albright]

Hi All,



We plan to once again activate the Union City Wireless Association call of
W3CG. With N2CU doing a great job of covering the NW, we have decided to
shift focus on the NE quadrant.


We will head to Center County Friday evening and spend the night there.
Starting on Saturday at noon, we hope our sequence will be:



*SATURDAY:*

Center

Mifflin

Juniata

Perry

Dauphin

Snyder

Union

Clinton

Lycoming

Northumberland

Montour

Columbia

Sullivan

Luzerne

Wyoming

Lackawanna



*SUNDAY:*

Monroe

Pike

Wayne

Susquehanna

Bradford

Tioga

Potter

Cameron

Elk

McKean

Forest

Warren

Crawford

Erie



This route is optimistic, to the point of being unrealistic. Times are hard
to project. Our plan is to spend as much time as possible operating in the
poorly represented counties, and use travel time through the
better-represented counties as a chance to operate less intensively while
we eat, swap roles, and otherwise rejuvenate.


As before, our first frequency of choice will be CW on 7.035 +/-. This
year, if CW rates sag, we will try to have a presence on 40 SSB as needed
and nurtured by fixed stations. Experience has taught the futility of
battling QRM as an SSB mobile in the 7.195 SSB Mobile Window.


73 and CU then!
