*************************** CURRENT CONTEST ACTIVITY ****************************** A last minute decision to run Sunday in the Nebraska QSO Party on April 23! We'll be on from about 10:30am CDT until 5:00pm CDT. No schedule this time since XYL Lorna will be birdwatching from time to time, but here's the list of 14 counties in southern Nebraska: Thayer, Nuckolls, Webster, Franklin, Harlan, Furnas, Gosper, Dawson, Buffalo, Phelps, Kearney, Adams, Clay, Fillmore, Thayer (again). Look for me around "37" frequencies on both CW and SSB, and happy to QSY to a different band or mode on your request.

My XYL/driver Lorna (K0WHY) and I will be mobile in the Oklahoma QSO Party on March 11-12. Note that the Saturday start time for the OQP has been moved back an hour to 1500Z. Look for me CW and SSB on 20/40/15. You can work me in each county on each band and mode. Look for me generally around "7" frequencies (27,37,47 with a preference for 37). If 10 opens up, I'll put out some calls there in counties where I have more time, and I'll try 80m on Saturday evening. We'll be on a number of county lines, so be sure to listen for additional counties. I'll also send "n" or say "next" and the number of minutes to the next county from time to time.

If you're new to contesting, I'll be happy to help you with the exchange. If we made contact, THANKS! I enjoy travelling with my wife, Lorna (K0WHY) and take the ICOM 7000 and 706MkIIG with Hustler verticals along for the ride. The photo shows the current mobile setup. In between travelling, I teach Computer Science, Aviation and Air Traffic Control at Hesston College and enjoy working with the Hesston College Amateur Radio Club as trustee of club call K0HC. I'm also the coordinator of the Kansas QSO Party. This year it will be on August 26-27. For more information, check out the KSQP web site: http://www.ksqsoparty.org/. Lorna and I were also the "Rover" half of the first recorded "Worked All States: Single Rover" with Nelson, N0LRA in Hesston, Kansas.

Here's a link to "the rest of the story" which also includes details and photos of Nelson's dipole box mentioned in the article. http://www.arrl.org/files/file/QST%20Binaries/HarderWebContent.pdf See you down the log! 73, Bob, w0bh
