> We have equipment ready to operate SSB and CW on 50-144-222-432 and stacked
> antenna arrays will be in the air (including our AZ-EL 432 EME array).
> Kilowatts provide QRO power on 50 through 432 MHz.
>
>
>
> During slower times of the contest (Saturday evening & late night, Sunday
> afternoon & early evening) our individual station operators will be logged
> into the ON4KST website band chat rooms spotting our frequencies of operation
> and looking for terrestrial schedule attempts (Phone, CW, FSK441, JT65).
> Simultaneously, we will also be monitoring DXsummit.fi specific band spots.

> We now are running WSJT-X on 6M and are capable of easier JT-65A contacts on
> 50.276 MHz. During slower 6M activity times we will be watching .276 for
> JT-65 activity.
>
> Also, while we intend to participate in EME on 432, we also would like to
> encourage terrestrial 432 contacts using JT-65B. Just watch for W4NH-432 user

> New for this contest effort will be the addition of a 4 band station added to
> make 50-146-222-440 FM contacts for those wanting to make contact with us but
