Yup, KB8TYJ will be there too, although I have to say I'm worried about 
something that we typically don't need to be concerned with this time of 
year. ... Thunderstorms!!!!

Yeah, that's right!  There is a big storm system that will be rolling 
through the Great Lakes region this week-end, complete with rain, wind, 
thunderstorms, and possibly severe weather.  Almost like Field day 
weather!!!

Nevertheless, I'll be there, with a goal of working all PA counties!

Steve and I will be in friendly competition, of course, but I'll promise not 
to use all the little contest mentoring tricks he taught me against him! 
(grin)
