Mike:

I plan to do a single-op operation here.  Like you, I may spend a little
time on the higher bands at the beginning of the contest, but will
concentrate mainly on 20 and 40 meters, with maybe some 80 and 160 meters
toward the very end.

Since I'll be doing the contest individually, I'll be limited to ten hours
of operation, so I'll have to watch my time carefully.

And, speaking of time, since the contest begins at 1800 Z, that translates
into 1 p.m. Eastern, since we are now on standard time.

If I'm wrong, please correct me.

And, finally, Mike, I'm just curious;  are you going to be using the N3FJP
logging software for this one?

Several nights ago, I installed the latest version (version 3.9), and it
seems to be working well.

Subject: NAQP CW Contest, Anyone?

The North American QSO Party CW contest begins at 2:00 PM eastern time on
Saturday, and ends at 2:00 AM on Sunday morning.

The exchange is your name and your state.

I will be participating as a member of a team of 5 operators, 4 of whom are
from Mississippi, and 1 from Louisiana.

Each team member operates his home station, and everybody is limited to no
more than 100 watts output.

Look for me mainly on 20 or 40 meters.

I will hit 10 and 15 meters early if they are open and show sufficient
activity.
