Ok, I have a question and would love anyones input that would like to 
help.   I don't want to say this but well  November is here and that 
only leads to the question my fiancées and parents jumped  on me at 
dinner to night.  What do you ant for Christmas.  My response "thats a 
good question. I will have to ask around to see what I want." 

So that leads me to this.  Next summer provided I can get off.  I would 
like to work the VHF contest in June.  And to top it all off I would 
like to run mostly 6 meters somewhere in the Maryland area as a portable 
setup.  I had a great thought of going to FM27 just on the VA/MD line 
and running a small portable setup.  Maybe even on the beach (4X4 fun) 

However I want to ask all of you. 
Are there areas in Maryland or a short drive from FM28 that are areas of 
need? ( what will make me that traffic jam station?)
Other then the equipment listed here what else do I need? (for Christmas)

--Antenna: KU4AB.com <http://www.ku4ab.com> 6 meter

--Radio: Yaesu FT-857D

--Battery: any 12volt This one is a marine battery with lots of power.

--Clipboard, paper, pen, and something to sit on.


Thanks,
Murray
