<font face="Arial">I will be departing central Michigan tomorrow (24
July) for a cross-country trip to Los Angeles and Sacramento, CA
via Evergreen, Colorado for the annual Evergreen Jazz Festival.
<br>
<br>
I will be beaconing 30 meters HF APRS, both the classic AX.25
packet variety, and the new PSK63/GMSK/MFSK-based variety a lot of
the time when I am not running the mobile SSTV LiveCAM on 40/30/20
meters. [Due to the newly-added N2VZ "TurboTuner" automatic
screwdriver antenna controller, I will be jumping between HF bands
more frequently and more effortlessly than ever before.]<br>
</font><font face="Arial"><br>
I intend to transmit on the MP-73N narrowband SSTV mode on
10.132.00 MHz as well as the usual wider-band analog and digital
modes on 40M & 20M. <br>
<br>
</font><font face="Arial">As in past years, this will be a chance to
compare the performance of conventional HF AX.25 packet APRS vs
APRS-over-PSK63. And new this year, to compare PSK63 vs the MFSK16
mode added to Messenger just a month ago. <br>
<br>
As before, three instances of UIview, running on my Panasonic
Toughbook will be beaconing under three callsigns:</font><br>
<ul>
<li>WA8LMF (no SSID) usual 144.390 2-Meters APRS<br>
<br>
</li>
<li><font face="Arial">WA8LMF-2 30 meters classic AX.25
300-baud HF packet APRS at 10.149.200/.400 MHz<br>
<br>
</font></li>
<li><font face="Arial">WA8LMF-63 30 meters APRS over
PSK63/GMSK/MFSK16 using Chris Moulding's "APRS Messenger"
sound card app on 10.149.700 MHz. </font></li>
</ul>

<br>
I will be taking along a Spiderbeam telescoping 40' (12M) mast
(collapses to less than 4' to fit in my Jetta TDI's trunk) to
support the center of a ladder-line-fed HF dipole for portable
operation at stops along the way. My goal is to run live SSTV
from the top of Mt Evans, and/or the top of the continental divide
(Loveland Pass on Colorado I-70) during the drive west. Possibly
also an operation from Utah's red rocks Capital Reefs area west of
Green River, UT on I-70. <br>
<br>
My trip schedule is approximately (and subject to change):<br>
