<BR>weekend. I'll be on for most of the 12 hours,<BR>looking
particularly for those mobiles in rare counties. I'll be happy <BR>to
work any and all the MI guys. I'm<BR>anticipating that there will be
propagation on 40 and 80M for the full <BR>12 hours between MA and MI, and
even<BR>some on 20M in the afternoon. <BR><BR>Have fun, be safe, and work me
lots! Good luck to all!</FONT></DIV><FONT

mode or maybe other bands as well. It only takes one button to do so,
usually less than 5 seconds. So be ready to be quick!</FONT></DIV>

size=2>If all works, I will be able to be on 80-40-20-15, both modes, during
the daytime. I will be checking 80/75 if 40 is not working for close in
stuff, but my experience in past years that 80 is pretty bad until maybe 4 pm
local. But we'll see.</FONT></DIV>

size=2>Sometime, probably around sunset, I will switch from the low power
Hustler 75 meter resonator to the high power one, to get better bandwidth on
75. The 75 M high power resonator has a stray resonance at 20
meters, so once I do, 20 will be either QRT or sharing Ham Stick time with 80
CW. If I am still motivated, I might put the 10 meter resonator on at that
time, so I could QRB ("Run the Bands") including 10 but excluding 20, if I
find a station close enough.</DIV>
