Hal, W1NN, (who now lives in Akron), and I are heading out this weekend for
a semi-serious rover effort in the September VHF QSO Party. I've added
horizontal loops (PAR) for 6 and 2, and a PAR stressed Moxon for six. We'll have
6, 2, 222, 432, and 1296 (yet to be tested).
Route plans, subject to change:
Saturday:
High Hill, OH, EM99cv
Flint Ridge State Park, OH EM89ux
Frazeysburg, OH EN80wc
Drive north through EN90 & EN91
Deposit W1NN at AC8E for the CW Sprint.
Depending on time & energy, may drive west to EN81
Back to Cleveland for rest & recharge. Maybe a bit of the Sprint.
Sunday:
Drive to Butler, PA Hamfest. (FN00au). Operate from there, among more
normal hamfest activities.
Back to northeast EN90, drive through EN91 to FN01. Head north through
western FN01, stopping at appropriate high spot(s) we find.
Wesleyville, PA FN02
Fairview, PA EN92wa
EN91 back to Cleveland.
For the unititiated to VHF folk out there with VHF multimodes, the main
frequencies are 50.125 and up (to maybe 50.200), 144.200 +/- 35 KHz or so, and
432.100. Most 432 stuff happens by qsying from 6 or 2.
Hope we can work lots of NCCers from out on the road! Maybe even see some
of you at Butler.
