If I wasn't in NY this weekend Jim, I'd go out and give you some much needed
competition....maybe go for 4.

A reminder to all that in addition to the CQ 160 CW contest, this weekend is
the ARRL January VHF SS. 


It runs from 2 pm EST Saturday to 10:59 pm EST Sunday. Exchange is four
digit grid square.


This is not the big VHF contest of the year, but it does have a club
competition. And even if you don't have a real VHF antenna system, forty
meter antennas usually load reasonably well in six meters, plus a wide range
antenna tuner (such as in the K3) will likely match something or other that
you have up.


Just today I received a my first certificate for a Florida operation. In
last year's ARRL VHF SS, I won first place, West Central Florida, in the
single operator - portable (QRP) category. My score was 2.
