> Hello,
> 
> August 6 is upon us and we still need lots of ops. Due to poor band
> conditions, summer committments; etc., the number of ops  needed is
> stretched very thin.  I have exchanged e-mails with NN1N and he has
> suggested that we re-think our operating stratgey. Conditions are no where
> near April. His thought was to focus our band strategy to give as many
> people enough of an opportunity to work NJ. This means having as many
> operators on 40-15 with a focus on the digital modes. This may mean changing
> your operating times and bands. The need for PSK is high as is for VHF/ EME.
> The spreadsheed is almost empty for the last three days. I am sure we, in
> NJ, can do a lot better than that.  Please, let's go the extra mile, and
> make NJ as visable as possible. Also, if you find yourself with an hour or
> two to spare in the evening, check the spreadsheet and fill in your call.
> ( Don't forget to SHARE and DONE). Multi ops can help fill in the load on
> the weekends. Our primary goal is to provide W1AW for those who are chasing
> the various awards. Don't worry about dupes.

> On Friday night I will ask for preliminary qso totals. This will help us to
> focus the remaining attention where it is needed. Your log will be due by
> 8PM on Thursday evening, August 14th.
> 
> I will need your .ADI file. Please send me an e-mail with the .ADI as an
> attachment. The log format should be :  operator/station call __Your 3
> Letter County Abbrev_Your Grid.adi.

> An example would look like   N2MM_BUR_FM29.adi
> 
> On the subject line of your e-mail message please put:
> LOG W1AW/2 NJ from your call;  example....Log for W1AW/2 NJ from W2GD.

> Repeat the callsign whenever you make a correction so the caller knows you
> have made the correction.

> The established pattern of W1AW/n has been to operate in the General
> Portions of the HF bands. Please avoid all traffic nets, dx-peditions, other
> W1AW/n operations, as well as other so-called nets. WE WILL MOVE !!!
> 
> USE OF SPLIT OPERATION: Once you establish a pileup, it is often to your
> advantage to operate in the splite mode. Don't do this unless you need to,
