Will definitely look for you, Mike, probably on 20 CW.

Am home just briefly here, and about to head back out to the camp site after
grabbing a few things we need.

Subject: CQ Swamp Day

My club will be operating from what is normally a grassy field that is part
of the property of our local Bass Pro Shop.

We have had so much rain that this field is now thoroughly disguised as a
swamp, thus the tacky subject line.

However, we will be using the communications trailer, and another 2 room
office trailer from the local Salvation Army disaster unit. These trailers
will be parked on the edge of the parking lot, not stuck in the mud!

The plan right now is to operate as 3A, along with a Get on the Air station,
and a 6 meter station, but that may change to 2A if the field does not dry
out enough to get antennas for that many stations set up.

The main station call is W5PFC. I will be on CW, mainly on 15, 20, and
40 meters, beginning at the start of the event, and going until 6:00 PM or
so, and again on Sunday morning sometime after daylight.

I will be listening out for familiar calls like I did during the W1AW
operation from Mississippi.

We are suppose to have two other good CW operators this year, so this could
turn into a good CW score if the bands decide they like us.

BTW, our Get on the Air station will use the special event call W5J.

See you on the radio!
