Salmon Run is happening in September the weekend of September 16-17.
He and I are going to work just CW and make a good effort to WAS and all the counties in WA. If we're really lucky we'll get to work the counties in WA that are sometimes operated by rovers who loop through the remote side of the state. Plus there's also a real chance we can get the Canadian prefixes too.
It will be a really fun time. I am excited to operate again from W6OAT QTH soon.

The PNW DX Convention in New Westminster is over and I've been home now about a week since that ended.
I really cannot express how much I appreciate the event and the kindness from the hosts from the ORCA DX Club in Vancouver -- they put on a wonderful event and the venue was awesome -- right on the water front (river). I made a lot of new friends and heard many presentations about DX-peditions and other details from those who went "over there".
The final dinner presentation about AI (artificial intelligence) was done by Guy Immega, VA7GI. A tremendously gifted speaker and a pleasure to listen to. A good talk that created a bit of a buzz and a slew of questions -- all about AI, the risks and benefits. It had a lot of people raising their hands. A nice way to cap the weekend filled with DX technical talks.
I was so glad to see my friends from WWDXC -- especially Rusty W6OAT who has made introductions to some of his friends and helped me become aware of a wider world of DX and CW operations.
As the year winds down, I don't think I will be travelling much at all until next spring when it will be tine for Visalia, CA IDXC. I believe it will be the 75th anniversary of that convention.
At any rate, I have a lot of practice to do before Salmon Run. I need to catch up a bit on my homework with head-copy.
