Gratuitous Sweepstakes CW operating trick
 

This weekend if someone is trying to steal your RUN-QRG (and if it looks
like he could succeed), hit the CW-R button to put him "on the other
side" of your center freq. Dit dit.

Go MWA! http://www.w0aa.org

Whoever wins on 40M is going to win SS this year. (You heard it here
first.)

About two hours before the opening bell I bring my station out of
cold-iron status with a final check of antennas, software, etc.

In the final hour before the test I tune all the open bands and populate
my bandmap with all the rare-mult stations who are 'place-holding a
spot' for the opening bell. In the first 15 minutes or so of the
contest I work that bandmap before all the cluster-lizards find and spot
them.

To bag that elusive "MN" mult this weekend, look for the M/S operation
from K0RT. Free T-shirt if you're the station which seals our sweep.

That elusive "MN" West Virginia mult will be on the lookout for K0RT.
Play fair though, 'cuz it isn't nice to fool K8-Mother Nature.

Speaking of Mother Nature --- My bro-in-law who lives in Parkersburg
wants to take me deer hunting in the hills 'n hollers near Berea later
this month. Kinda in your neighborhood (you're near Wheeling I think?)

Yep, Moundsville is about 70 miles up river from Parkersburg. I'm 14
miles from the river so the best route here from there is to take WV
Route 2 north to New Martinsville, hang a right on WV Route 7 to
Hundred, turn left onto U.S. Route 250 and follow it north until you see
towers, about 3.5 miles before you arrive in Cameron. Tell me when to
put the coffee on.

Plans aren't firm yet. His invite is for the same time as CQWW, so may
not be able to juggle the schedule. I'll keep you advised.
