THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT

There are multiple mobile FL stations that will be operating with just 100W
and inefficient mobile antennas as they travel the state. Fixed stations
most always have much larger, efficient antennas (including those at our
clubhouse).

So we request that all FIXED stations observed the Mobile Window below by
not calling CQ in those windows:

MOBILE WINDOW
We expect many Mobile stations will be on and most can be found here:

CW: 7.025-7.035,    14.040-14.050,   21.040-21.050,   28.040-28.050 MHz*
SSB: 7.230-7.240,   14.255-14.275 MHz

*****If you are not mobile, *please refrain from calling CQ in these windows****

Thanks everyone for your help and support!

Chris, NX4N
