<DIV><FONT size=2>OK, for sure I will get Preble, Darke, Mercer, and van Wert,
and take extra time in each of them since the counties further north will be
covered by others. I will also try 80 meter CW as well as CW/SSB on 40 and
20.... if 15 looks good I will try it as well, but if rates are poor I won't try
for long.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>Then toward late afternoon I will head north into Paulding,
then likely Putnam, Henry, Fulton, Williams, Defiance..... then head west to
become KJ9C in Indiana on my way to grandma's cottage in the Indiana lake
country </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>Jim MR mentioned keeping 3545 open. We had some success in
last INQP with keeping a "mobile window" between 030 and 040 (or in your case
040 and 050) for mobiles to call CQ, stronger (fixed and portable) stations
calling CQ outside the window. It helped both sides, as mobiles found run
frequencies and handed out more multipliers, and fixed stations knew where to
look for new multipliers.</FONT></DIV>
