The Weekend is Nearly Here!

Okay folks,
It is almost the weekend, I am lucky enough to have tomorrow off. (our office is closed for the Jamestown 400 Celebration) And the Mid-Atlantic QSO party is this weekend! I am going to give it a shot. It is my first time, I have some pretty realistic expectations for my performance, but you have to start somewhere! Why not just go ahead and jump in feet first!
I am trying out some different logging software to see which is the best for me. I have had some great advice and tips on which ones to try, thanks to Bill NR4C, Joe, KI4XLT and George K4GAM. I need to work on it tonight and tomorrow and hopefully have one in place for this weekend. Perhaps this weekend will be a testing ground for the software as well.
I have ordered some more supplies and an LDG 250Pro automatic tuner that should arrive today. Plus some jumpers and a couple of books on contesting. Pretty exciting stuff this weekend.

For all participating in the QSO party this weekend, good luck! Don't forget that the special event station W4J will be operating from Jamestown this weekend!
Happy Hamming!
