Good Day,
After the failed attempt to get the new antenna arrays and feedline up
for the June contest, we now have the antennas up (with a lot of help) and I
believe we have all the bugs worked out.
I will once again be operating in the low power single op category from
the house.
Eouipment:
6Mtr-----------7ele yagi 175 watts
2Mtr-----------4x 19ele yagis 200 watts
222MHz-------2x 7wl yagis 100 watts
432MHz-------4x 9wl yagis 100 watts
23cm----------2x 35ele yagis 10 watts
Mast mounted pre-amps on all bands.
Sorry but no digital modes or HSMS.
I am looking forward to meeting old friends and making new ones, and as
always, skeds are more than welcome.
Here's a reminder for those that only get on and work the BIG GUNS and
their FRIENDS:
In order to make contesting work, we need the support of all Hams, even
on FM. We have lost contest sponsership before and if we are not careful it
will happen again.
I am alway's amazed at how many stations that can be copied quite well
while they are working the Big Stations, but are not heard again because
they do not answer the weaker CQ's, and wouldn't dream of calling CQ
themselves.
Instead of making a dozen or so QSO's with the Big Boys, please spend a
little time tuning around the bands for the weaker stations that are calling
CQ.
If you have difficulty making out the callsign, it is perfectly OK to
answer with QRZ.
Please rember that you are the WANTED station, and I and other small and
medium stations will work hard to make the contact.
Many small stations make a lot of contacts, not because they have some
secret, but because they have the confidence to try.
And remember to submit your logs.
Best Regards
Bob KU4R
