Will look for you too, Dave.

Sounds like a neat setup, with lots of operating  opportunities.

Subject: Re: Special Call Sign for Field Day operation this weekend

Hi All,

Our club, the Rogue Valley ARC, will also have a special call sign for Field
Day--K7M.  We will operate 4A from a site on the Rogue River about an hour's
drive from Medford.  There will be two CW and two phone stations.  I will
operate one of the CW stations using a TH5DX and dipoles for 40 and 80.  The
other CW station will combine CW with digital and will use a five-element
monobander on 20 along with dipoles.  The two phone stations will share a
three-element tribander using a triplexer.  They will probably have dipoles
as well.  Our club has won Oregon two of the last three years running 3A.
The year we didn't win we were operating 2A.  Even though 3A has been a
winning strategy for us, we decided to run 4A to give more people a chance
to operate.  We'll see how this works.  Give us a call if you hear us on.

73,

Dave, W7OQ
