As Tim mentioned, I will also be hiding in the 80m woods, transmitting somewhere between 3.550-3.570 MHz and listening up 1-2 KHz. If the QSO rate slows down enough or band conditions go sour, I will switch to simplex operation.
I will be running a TS-590SG at 5w output into a 80m horizontal loop up 30ft, but switching to a Gap Challenger DX vertical from time to time.

?Greetings, hounds new and old!
This week will be my second run on 80M, along with Tony KT0AA. Please look for us between 3550 and 3570 KHz starting at 0200 UTC. I'm in northern Colorado, DN70kg, and Tony is in Missouri, so every hounds from coast to coast should have a good chance of bagging at least one pelt!
I'll be running my KX3 with the 43 foot vertical as the main antenna and a low dipole to fill in the short skip paths. I'll start out listening up, and will go simplex when conditions and the pack permit.
Please remember to listen between your calls, and if I ask for a partial call please stand by unless the partial is a close match to yours!
Good luck to all the hounds, and may the propagation be with us!
