N6NB has asked me to post the following announcement about the San Bernadino 
Microwave Society 2 GHz and Up contest to the VHF Contesting reflector. This 
contest started out as a regional contest, but has grown to national interest. 
The rules are reasonable, scoring is distance based, roving is encouraged, and 
there is a club competition. Looks like fun. - Duffey KK6MC 


Last year microwave enthusiasts from eastern Canada to California 
participated in the San Bernardino Microwave Society 2.3 GHz and Up 
Contest.  Members of five different clubs took part in the club 
competition.  

With its early May date, it's scheduled late enough that weather 
should be good for roving and early enough that it can serve as a 
tune-up and system checkout for the summer VHF, UHF and 
10 GHz contests. 

Here are the highlights:

The 2015 San Bernardino Microwave Society 2 GHz and Up Contest and 
Club Challenge is May 2-3, 2015, starting at 6 a.m. local time on 
Saturday, May 2, and ending at 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, May 3.  Work 
all bands above 2.3 GHz.  The exchange is the six-digit grid square.
Count 100 QSO points for the first contact with a station on each 
band plus 1 point per km. of distance (3 points per km. on 24 GHz,
6 points per km. on 47 GHz and up).  After either station moves 16 
km. stations may work again for distance points.  For more information,
log forms and last year's results go to:  www.n6nb.com/sbmsrules.htm
