[Fourlanders] CQ World Wide VHF Contest Next Weekend

[Bill Pence]

I just put up a short (30') tower with 6m yagi, 2m yagi and 432 yagi. the
yagis are waay to close spaced, but
you work with what you can... (KK4LUM was instrumental in this
installation...)


I found that the claim I had found that the russian coax relays work on 12v
is fake news.
( I guess Thomas Jeferson was very wrong when he tweeted that everything on
the WWW is verified true.)

I do plan to drive up to the Athens, TN hamfest so I won't get started
until Saturday evening.
its a looong way for probably a really small gthering, but I am jonesing
for a hamfest, and the dalton flea market
is just too many days away...


make sure to get the latest N1MM!
