I’m not even sure if I nudged N4YDU or he asked if I was going, but after the first contact I made sure Nate knew there was plenty of room if he chose to make the trip. And plenty of operating time to fill if he chose to do it. “Highly motivated operator” is not a label I would ever apply to myself. My own interests are more about seeing what works and what does not.
