I’m in the process of making final(hah!) plans for the January VHF Contest
Rove.
Weather dependent, I plan to driveto Dumas, TX (DM95) on Friday night and then
up to the OK panhandle forSTARTEX.
I’d like to start in the DM86 / DM87/ DM96 / DM97 grid convergence and I have
worked some RMVHF stations form thisgeneral area in the past. I should alsobe
able to hit N0LL and KB0HH with no problems from this area.
Then we’ll move to the EM06 / EM07 /EM16 / EM17 grid convergence area. Ishould
lose the majority of the RMVHF-ers in this spot, but pick up K5SW andsome
others.
From there it is south on I-35 foras far as I can get before ENDEX.
Right now, I am planning to run as alimited rover and will have 6m (100w, 3
elements), 2m (100w, 18 elements),1.25m (50w, 7 elements), and 70cm (75w, 18
elements). I will also have FM on the calling frequencyof those bands.
I can bring 23cm (10w, 35 elements)if someone wants to try it and I will turn
that log in as a checklog so youstill get credit for the QSO.
Don, NL7CO/R
