[Nodxa] ARRL June VHF Contest - This Weekend

[Jim Stahl via Nodxa]

Hi All,
 
This weekend is the ARRL June VHF Contest, starting at 2 pm EDT today  
(Saturday) and running until 11pm EDT Sunday. 
 
Exchange 4 digit grid squares.
 
If six meters opens, this will be the absolutely best weekend of the year  
for activity on that band. If the band opens it doesn't take much of an 
antenna.  40 meter antennas tend to work well, or a ten foot dipole up 25 feet 
or so can  be very effective.
 
 And for all the bands, the Hepburn Tropo Forecast  predicts pretty good 
conditions for groundwave stuff this weekend as  well.
 
I won't be on full time, but to hope to catch a lot of you on the air  this 
weekend.
