I will be mainly on 20, 15, and 10 meters, with perhaps a 
visit to 80 meters if the static level drops.

I must get the 40 meter antenna back up again soon, this 
time with a better rope up in the tree.

Subject: ARRL CW Sweepstakes Contest, Anyone?


Hi, again, everyone.

As I said in my last post, I'm planning on giving the ARRL 
Sweepstakes CW
contest a shot this week-end.

The contest runs for 30 hours, from 2100 Z Tomorrow 
afternoon, until 0300 Z
early Monday morning.  That translates to 5 p.m. tomorrow, 
until 10 p.m.
Sunday evening, if you take into account the switch to 
Eastern standard time
tomorrow night.

Personally, I feel the exchange in the Sweepstakes contest 
is a bit
cumbersome, but I'm going to give it a try anyway.

I'll be running in entry category A.--single op low power.

I certainly won't be able to operate nearly the full 30 
hours, but hope to
get some good operating time in tomorrow and at least part 
of Sunday.

Hope to work at least some of you from here in west-central 
lower Michigan.
