Funny that this was posted just as I was imagining what fun it would be to find
someone gearing up for this contest while we are in and around San Bernardino
County this coming week.
I am a new vhf contest enthusiast and would love for the XYL to see what can be
done above 432. ( In other words, to get her approval.)
We are leaving Texas Monday and will arrive in San Diego Tuesday, to begin our
So Cal vacation.
We will arrive in San Bernardino Wed. evening and depart for the High Desert
Thurs. afternoon.
If anyone is out and about, please contact me at k0axx@aol.com.
I will have VHF/UHF FM capabilities along the way and have many area repeaters
programmed.
