Wanted to see if any one here may have some farm land/parking spot in the driveway in the path of totality for the upcoming eclipse that myself and the YL might be able to squat on for a few hours Monday..... I know its last min, with my work schedule I didn't know for sure if we would be able to make the drive down.

I know the deal, gas, grass, or a$$, nothing is free.. so here is what I can potentially offer in exchange. Going to try to test this setup this weekend to make sure it'll work like I think it will.. so its just potential right now..

If any one is interested in the Eclipse QSO contest, I have a KIO 6 band Hex beam (6,10,12,15,17,20m), I believe I can temporarily throw up on a short mast in the back of the truck with a rotator. I have a Kenwood 590sg that I can drag along as well. The YL and myself will hopefully be upgrading to General class this weekend so we can work the HF contest. If someone has a spot for us to hang out, your welcome to get on and make some contacts, etc. I'm mainly just interested in getting a few contacts and maybe a couple special event stations. Don't care about winning, would just like to participate and see the moon cover the sun. Should the upgrade not work out, I'd still offer the same provided this setup will work.. Ill just hope for good conditions on 10m.

I'd prefer someone in the area of Charleston/Columbia area as I'm in Cumberland Co but if someone further west had a place to throw up a tent I would consider driving farther. Also can throw in a case or bottle of your drink of choice (within reason, this hobby has taken away my funds for @fieldgrade level scotch lol).

Feel free to shoot me a pm if anyone interested.

Thanks guys
