Countdown Is Underway

Posted on by

The countdown to Heart of Dixie RTTY in North Dakota has begun.

Air travel plans made, check.

Hotel rooms booked, check.

Writelog programmed on laptop and contest set up, check.

RigExpert installed on laptop and working, check.

W0ZOK has promised us a cookout while we are there. He said he likes brats and beer. Sounds fine to me. We told him to save some 60 degree days for us. We don’t want any 90 degrees. We have that here at home.

We will arrive on Thursday, July 14, set up the station on the 15th and be ready to go on Saturday in the NAQP.
