All,
we are right at 6 weeks from the June VHF contest, so we need to begin
firming up our plans.
We still have 3 distinct possibilities for the June contest.
As we are not decided on which we will do, there is still flexibility in
our thinking and planning for a bit longer. None of the decisions are time
critical as yet, however, Option 1 decisions making will become time
critical soon...
Please read the full message below, and I need to hear from our
participants on availabilty for each option. (So I need a response for each
of the 3 options below and the trailer work...)
Option 1 - Mile High is open and we have enough pullers -> We go up the
mountain.
We should get Mile High availability info in a few days (their season is
about to begin...) This, of course, depends on enough pullers and
participants. If you can pull, please let me know so Bob and I can plan
the pulling effort. we are down a couple right now, so this might be moot.
Optoin 2 - Mile High is still closed, or not enough pullers. We meet at
Bob's *IF* the current Covid-19 environment indicates this is acceptable
low risk. Please let me know your availability so I can work with Bob to
plan beds. most of us are advanced, and a bit higher risk. (I actually get
tested apr 29 in prep for outpatient ruptured disc surgery.)
Option 3 - we operate distributed with members combining scores as club
stations. Hopefully, each of us can at least put up a basic 6m antenna and
get some FT8 and FT4 QSO's... the current circle includes several distant
members: Huntsville AL (WG8S), Waynesville, NC(W4SKI) and Barnesville, GA
(KI4US)
We'd like to get the list as complete as possible. If you wish to be on
this list, please make sure your dues are up to date with Jim W and we will
add you to the contest list. *This list must be submitted in advance of
the contest.*
In addition, there is some trailer axle maintenance needed. (bearing
inspection/packing, tire inspection, brake inspection, brake battery
testing, etc.)
The date for the axle work has not been established.
If we do not go to the mountain, this can be postponed into Summer, but we
will hopefully be heading up to Mile High in Sept, so the work needs to be
done for that.
if you have questions or need clarifications, let me know.
thanks and I look forard to a great contest, no matter which option we use.
