Is anyone else in the club going to operate the VHF contest? I'll be on
from home, on 6 and 2 meters, using small antennas (home-brew 2-element
Moxon on 6 and 7-element Hy-Gain Yagi on 2) and 100 watts on both bands.
I will be using CW and FT8 primarily but will check SSB occasionally. I
will also swing the antennas around toward Winnipeg near the top of the
hour for the first several hours (Armstrong rotor). Otherwise I'll be
focused on working the folks in the Twin Cities area where most regional
activity will originate.
I just checked the ARRL club eligibility list and Shelley and I are okay
on the most current (September 2019) list but there are some calls that
need updating (KG0YL and VE4SNA, for example) and there are probably
some new additions to be included, too. Can anyone do that sometime
today? The URL for the eligibility list is:
https://contest-clubs.arrl.org/viewlists.php?action=list&rowid=1237
I'm pretty sure I can work a few of you on 6 and hope for something on 2
as well but I've not operated narrow-band/weak signal modes from here on
144MHz so I don't know how good the prospect of that might be.

Jack, VE3RUA/K0JP (EN18rn)
