Todd, N9NE is having problems posting to the reflector, so he asked me to post the following for him:

Greetings!


I plan on operating solo mobile (mostly parked) in five western counties of the UP: in order these are IRON, BARA, HOUG, ONTO, and GOGE. I'll end up in the parking lot of the Lac Vieux Desert Casino at midnight :). I have cut my counties down from nine to six in the last few years, and the drop to five will give me yet more time on the radio and less on the road. I'll be mostly on CW on 80, 40, and 20M but am planning on hunting MI county multipliers on 40M and 75M SSB more so than in the past. That weak station calling you might just be me from that needed county....  

Jim K8MR made an excellent comment on fixed stations keeping the 'mobile windows' clear. I second the motion and appreciate your efforts to do so!


IMHO, no one will ever win the SO Mobile division from the UP (at least I won't). The low number of counties (large areas) and the relative lack of good interconnecting roads are limiting factors. Those nice-looking 'highways' on some of the atlas maps are often no more than forest trails, so we who drive these counties find our options limited. OTOH, the beauty of this part of MI is outstanding, and I go there to do some quick sight-seeing as well as fun, low-keyed (no pun intended) contesting. 

GL to all and hope to work you!
