[Fourlanders] January VHF contest

[Brian McCarthy]

Looking at moon conditions, it seems to not be a good weekend. Declination
will be more than -20 degrees and new moon is on the 18th-19th. I doubt
there will be much activity or stuff to be worked that way.

If you want to see the charts, look at https://mmmonvhf.de/eme.php , change
the month to January and year to 2026.

Regardless, I will be planning to be there for the whole weekend. I'd like
to try with my EME setup (902,1296.2304) even with the poor conditions. A
lot of this will depend on weather. It should play well terrestrially from
NNE to S or SSW.

Cheers All,
Brian
