2010 K7ED/m 7QP Route - Washington State

All times are tentative (of course!) - I'll probably be ahead of schedule instead of behind...

Here are my intended stops in the 7QP Contest on May 1st...  All stops are in Washington State!

A - 6:00am - 9:00am - Blewett Pass Chelan/Kittitas County Line (I might not get there exactly at 6:00am...  It might be closer to 8:00am for the arrival time depending on whether I camp out over there or start from Seattle in the morning...).

B - 10:30am - Noon - Trinidad, WA Douglas/Grant County Line

C - 2:00pm - 3:30pm - Middle of Nowhere Benton/Yakima County Line

D - 6:00pm - ? - King/Snohomish County Line

I operate cw and usually can be found on 20 meters - probably calling CQ around 14035 or 14045 since the contest center frequency is 14040.  I'll also possibly check out 40 meters in the morning if I'm there early.

I use an Icom 706 and hamstick antennas - so it's not a huge signal, but reasonable on cw.

73!  Jack, WA0RJY (K7ED/m driver and operator when stationary)
