Contact Tony Jones, N4ATJ (N4ATJ@twc.com) In a month or 2.
May of next year would be better, but at least wait and give him time to finish up things for the current 13 Colonies Event.
NC won it last year as far and numbers go and I have a nice plaque for it.

Got it going. Built a cable for the signalink. Took some trial and error, but that's all part of the fun.

Would any of yall be interested in having a field day while helping at a charity gravel bike ride I'm putting on? Wilson's Creek/Mortimer/Collettsville area on 10/8.

I need some folks to help at my water/food/aid stations that morning and it would be awesome for it to be Ham operators so we'd have good comms throughout the course.

Well the "POTA post" was a success. England, Hungary, and Ecuador yesterday afternoon as well as several other good contacts.

Also grabbed a shack heater for a great deal. It has a Collins installed MARS mod and is in great shape. Could use freshening up though. Now I have to track down a matching transmitter......
