From Jeff - NY4N:

Unlike last year, will only get to operate for a short time, while in OK city on business.
I should be able to start around 4-5 pm Saturday and operate till Closing , or approx 3 hours.
Looking to put on the following counties in the order of which they will be worked. CW only, 40 and 80 meters.
Wish I could devote more time, but must get back home ASAP. Have fun and good luck.

SAT ONLY: McClain, Cleveland, Oklahoma, Pottawatomie, Seminole, Okfuskee, Okmulgee, McIntosh, Muskogee, Sequoyah

CHANGE IN PLANS! Due to the bad weather between here in Oklahoma and Tennessee, will be leaving here
earlier than planned since we expect rough driving conditions along I-40 and home. Everything is the same EXCEPT
the time. We should leave here around 1 pm, and work the counties along I-40 east between OK City and the Arkansas
border. See previous list to get counties. Look for CW operation only on 40 and 20 meters.

All you TCG folks, hold down the fort till we can get back home. Good luck to all and 73.
