My planned trip to Nebraska counties is as follows. This is a continuation of a

Nebraska trip in 2021 I did not complete due to cold

weather causing my Tarheel to not work. This trip is also weather

dependent, this is not in the Banana Belt !

I will not take super long days as days are shorter and it just takes more

time along with the number of bands being run.

My rotation is usually 30cw, 20cw, 20ssb, 17cw, 15cw. 40Cw, 40ssb.

I will listen for DX at the beginning of each run and will also take

relays for both DX and stateside.

You can text me at my cell. I do look at them.

I have looked at the needs list and also have a number of emails to take into account.

I am good for 5 stars, Master Gold, Platinum, 2x1, N Prefix

I need Mobile Diamond and Mobile Diamond Transmit in many of these so

please give me the contact. Trip is subject to change.
