As a fellow ham in northern New England who travels out to the trail to work folks, I can attest that the 6 hour round trip drive to setup, get on the air, work 12 people (none of which are on this list) then drive back to read email that Maine is never activated is a lot of effort. As in the past, I would suggest a day or a weekend that we could all agree on so that all the states could be out there on the trail looking for the states that they need. Have a good week..
