I'll be there, if the predictions hold true, and storms clear out.
Between the SKCC, NAQCC, and Flying Pigs, I'm getting plenty of CW contest time.

For once the forecast for rain here is just about 0%.
But then there's solar flares... |

Weather looks good here.
I'll probably lay out the home brew EARCHI antenna in the backyard, and pull it up in the air about an hour into the sprint. That will give me 40 meters, and maybe even 80 meters. |

I'm hearing a lot of activity around 14.050, but with QSB. I've worked stations in CA, QC and OK in the past 20 minutes.
Finished the shelf for my other desk, so hope to have the Elmac twins on soon. |

Either 20 complete folded just as SKS started or they were skipping over me. I worked 4 stations in the first 11 minutes then called for about 10 minutes with no takers so moved to 40. There was plenty of activity on 40 and 80, but 80 was running an S7 noise level here.

20 meters was rocking out, here. I started calling CQ at the start of the sprint, and got answers for the next two hours. Non-stop action. I even worked an Arfcom member (Prosise
).
I had the EARCHI antenna laid out in the backyard, but never bothered to hoist it up in the air. Edit: It got confusing, when I was calling CQ, and AF2Z, and AF3Z answered at the same time. Took a couple of minutes to straighten that one out.
