K7P is celebrating the 150th anniversary of the Pony Express. We will be operating from the site of Historic Riverbed Station along the pony express trail in the West Desert in Utah. We wil be operating while the pony is in Utah June 12, 13, and 14. Modes will be SSB, PSK31, and CW (if a guest "brass pounder" shows up). Depending on band condition we will be on 40, 20, or 15 meter in the General Band assigments from 1200 UTC to 0500 UTC daily. Please join us.

An 8 1/2 x 11 certificate will be available. Please send $1 and a SASE to Dave Harris, K7PDW, PO Box 160012, Clearfield, UT 84016-0012. Please send QSL cards even if you don't want a certificate. Thanks and 73.

Well 2010 re-ride is over. The mail left Utah at 0300 MDT Tuesday June 15. Thanks to all of you who participated as shadows and net control operators. We were at the Layton ECC this year. Thanks Mike Groves, KD7MG, for arranging for us to use the Layton ECC. Also thanks to Mike and Rick Belnap, N9RIC, for helping with the repeater survey which was necessary because of the move from the Clearfield ECC to the Layton ECC.

This will be the last year I can coordinate the sign-up and scheduling for the re-ride. If someone else is interested in taking this over, please let me know. I have a do to list and number of resources that streamline the effort.

Dave Harris, K7PDW
