[NCC] CQWW 160 CW coming up

[Jimk8mr at aol.com]

And coming up even sooner, is the ARRL VHF SS this weekend. I runs from 2  
pm Saturday to 11 pm Sunday.
 
This is not a prime time of year for VHF propagation (although it is a  
minor Es season, so 6 meter skip is not unheard of), but it does generate  
activity on the VHF bands.
 
We serious or semi-serious VHF contesters can use every qso we can find, so 
 it you have any sort of rig that will operate on 6 meters or above, do 
hook it  to whatever antenna you might have (40 meter antennas can be 
reasonably OK on 6  meters) and hand out a few points to the deserving.  
 
I'll be in there, though not sure how seriously.

Greetings NCCers, The CQWW 160 CW test is coming soon. Consider  yourself 
'whipped' to operate. The test starts 2200Z on Jan 28 (Friday)  and runs to 
200Z on Sunday. This is one of my favorite tests and my view  is EVERYONE 
should get on and give me a contact! You don't need power or  even a good 
antenna to make some contacts. This is a good way to get ready  for ARRLDX 
CW 
coming in Feb.

Post your plans here and I'll make a  list to distribute and also add to 
the 
website. I plan to be on as close  to full time as possible and look 
forward 
to working lots of  NCCers.
