I'll gladly come along.
I got a new dipole center and three wire sets for it that I have not yet
had the chance for to tune up or try out.

In which of the cars would I be able to get a seat (and some equipment
space I suppose)? I'm thinking of brining my HF radio, battery, tuner, wires,
tent pegs, rope. And for comfort possibly a folding chair and a thermos
filled with tea. The magnetic loop and laptop don't need to come along.

If you want to improve your NOAA signal reception Ed, feel free to take the
tapemeasure yagi that's in the space on the trip.

Derecho.
