Sure, but a lot depends  on band conditions and there may be a lot going on 
but not in your area.   Don't know about  the January contest, but  in 
spring, summer, and fall contests,  a lot of guys   go mobile to give out  a 
bunch of grid  squares or go to high  points to  set up  portable and  cover 
more  area.   I may get on  the air  Sunday if I hear anything.
