Oklahoma QSO Party 2013  -  March 16 and 17

Rover Routes

Please Email Connie Marshall K5CM (QSO party manager)   k5cm-2 at suddenlink.net   with your plans.

All counties are now covered, but it's always good to have duplication, so don't hesitate to make a route. However, please don't make a route that you can't cover. Others will be counting on you to run the counties you have listed here. If you don't spend at least 15 minutes in the county you might consider not including it in your list. If you see you can't make a county that you have on this list please call or text me ASAP during the contest.

K5CM -This is a tentative route. Connie and Pam will operate both SSB and CW with the main emphasis on CW.  (Saturday) -  Will start on 80 meter CW, on the three county line of  Rogers/Wagner/ Mayes. Then Delaware, Cherokee/Adair,  Ottawa, Craig, Nowata,  Washington, Osage Tulsa, Creek, Pawnee, Payne, Lincoln, Logan, Oklahoma/Cleveland/Pottawatomie . Will try 80 meters the last 20 minutes.   (Sunday) - Muskogee, Sequoyah, Haskell, Latimer, Pittsburg, McIntosh and maybe Hughes.  We will try to maintain the same frequency as we change bands, (near .038) but this may prove difficult with both the VA QSO party and Russian contest occurring at the same time.  Pam will do most of the SSB operating. Please work us even if you don't need the county we are in. If we have a run going we will not leave the county until all have been worked.
