Hello Albert, What bands would you operate on if you decide to participate?
I will probably operate to give out a few points, but I won't be working the
contest seriously.  At the moment, I am not on 80/75 as I decided to wait
until the WX cools down a bit before gathering my tower crew together to
install the 80 meter rotating dipole kit for my SteppIr DB36.  It will take
at least a half day to perform the install, and possibly longer.  In
addition, I will have to rent a platform-lift truck, or a crane to get the
tower crew up to the level of the boom, and a few feet higher than that to
install the mast-mounted portions of the kit.  I wouldn't expose the crew to
the temperatures we get during the summer, and on in to October.  I am
estimating that we will perform the install around Thanksgiving, possibly a
little before that.

Hi! again! Tom!

Haven't decided whether or not to participate in the QSO party or not this 
weekend since the HF antenna has been exhibiting some SWR issues on some of 
the bands, but, we'll listen for you and other list members.
