      Mobile Activities:

      Please let me know as soon as you can.

    • W4AN/M: K4BAI tentative route will be to start in Phenix City in Russell County, go west on 280 to I-85, west to I-65 in MGMY, north to Bham and I-20, east to near the GA line and return home via US 431. That will give us about 52 minutes average in each of 14 counties. The counties would be: RSSL, LEE, MACO, MGMY, ELMO, AUTA, CHIL, SHEL, JEFF, SCLR, CHOU, CLEB, RAND, CHMB, and possibly LEE and RSSL again near the end. 73, John, K4BAI.
    • N3FU/M: I'll do my best to go out mobile. I don?t have a mobile rig in the truck right now. I have one sitting on the desk waiting to be put in. If I can pull it together, I?ll try to run up to Barbour county again. 73, Jake, N3FU
    • K5YAA/M: I am considering coming over to run the AQP again this year. Here is a tentative route I have mapped out. Pickens[1], Tuscaloosa[2], Bibb[3], Jefferson[4], Blount[5], Cullman[6], Morgan[7], Limestone[8], Lawrence[9], Colbert[10], Franklin[11], Marion[12], Winston[13] and Walker[14]. All bands High Power 10-80 with 80 late Saturday evening. Looks like that will leave St. Clair, Lowndes and Chilton for all counties to be covered. Thanks, Jerry K5YAA

Operating using the call: KO4TM Category: Mobile - Multi Operator Operators: Jim, WA4CWI, and Ken, WB4FAY Power: LP (100 watts) Modes: Phone (SSB) Only Frequencies: As suggested for the 'Mobile Window' -- "First 10 kHz of the General PH band." Expect to primarily use 20M and 40M bands. Then add 75M to the mix as it opens in the evening. This is all subject to change as conditions dictate. County plan: We expect to make a clockwise loop around (and excluding) Tuscaloosa County. We will begin in Bibb County at 11:00 AM CDT and then progress through Perry, Hale, Greene, Sumter, Pickens, Lamar, Fayette, Walker and then back home to Jefferson. For planning purposes expect a new county approximately each hour after spending the time slot in Bibb County. Other notes: We will be monitoring D-STAR Reflector 058-B for as much of the day as possible. Look forward to catching you on the bands somewhere this weekend. 73, Ken, WB4FAY

      • Anybody? We need all the mobiles that we can get! Please consider activating a few counties.


        • Othr Significant Activity:

      • LY5W: Sam, will be active in the AQP this year.
      • OM2VL: 
        I will be QRV in AL QP.
Please operation from every county also on 20/15m because at the 
begenning 40m is closed here.

In last QP?s 15m was excellent with a BIG signals of mobiles. 
(at the begenning on 20m very weak signals especially on SSB)

Because in AL QP multis are count both on SSB and CW if it is 
POSSIBLE PLEASE quick QSY from CW to SSB on 15m. I am very 
quick - you can back your CW run during 10 sec! We do it with 
K5KG during the FL QP and we made during 1 min sometimes 6! 
QSO (20/15/10m CW/SSB)

On the late night I will be looking for you also on 40m CW/SSB 
and 80m CW.

On 40m CW big problem for me RTTY QRM  between 7040-7045. 
I hope found you also on this band.

On 40m SSB I can transmit only till 7.200. Please also 
operation above this frq.

regards, Laci OM2VL
