KA6U Update - April 16, 2023 -  1800UTC

I am currently in Texas and will do Dubus EME contest on April 22/23 with Marshall K5QE

Updated plan:
  • April 24 - KS/OK/MO from EM26QX 1500UTC - 2300UTC - Operations from park where 3 states meet.  Start with 23/70cm at same time, KS, OK, MO in that order.  222 operations follow.  Location allows dragging equipment into 3 different states in minutes-
                                               Kansas, Oklahoma, Missouri 3 state border
  • April 25 - NE/SD from EN12MS 1530 - 2300UTC - SD first then NE.  23/70 cm first followed by 222
  • April 26 - ND/MN from EN15RW - 1630 - 2200 UTC ND first then MN.  23/70cm first followed by 222
  • April 27 - MT/WY from DN74TX -  1730 - 2300UTC WY first then MT.  23/70 first followed by 222
Weather for these first 4 dates looks ok.  There may be another winter storm coming in that may delay going further west for a few days.

Peter, KA6U

    Thank you, and good luck Peter. Looking forward to working you in these rare States and Grids. The spring winds and storms here in the plains this time of year will make for tough conditions; I hope to work you in all the locations. Be safe. 73's.
