If any of you are operating contests using WSJT-X and/or JTAlert, and you're
migrating (as opposed to "upgrading") to W10, the following tips may be of
interest as you get ready for this weekend's VHF contest.

Please announce your plans for January VHF here.
I will be starting out the contest as a Limited rover (6m thru 432) in DM13
at Signal Peak, then over to Signal Hill DM03 Will make a stop in DM04 in
Glendale.
Weather permitting, I hope to cross the Grapevine to the town of Grapevine
(DM04) somewhere around 0200z to 0400z, and I will be gunning north.
Sunday I will stop in DM14 somewhere along the I-10, Chiriaco Summit for
DM23, and maybe head as far east as Quartzite to take part of all the fun in
Arizona.
I prefer SSB QSOs, but will be prepared with FT8, but that is a lot slower.
Even if you make a few QSOs during the halftimes of
the playoff games on Sunday, it will greatly help the participants.
I will have APRS turned on via a phone app, and you can track me at
https://aprs.fi/#!call=a%2FN6GP-10&timerange=3600&tail=3600
Hope to work you all!

Hi, Tim.
I have an LAFD drill Saturday morning and afternoon but expect to be on from
home (DM04) later that day and on at least part of Sunday. I'll be using
vertical polarization on the bands above 6m.

Marty N6VI

Too bad... I only do Morish Code nowadays, even on V/UHF 8-)
Last time I tried the June VHF contest, I was only able to hear two guys,
both on 6 CW. I never heard anyone on 2 or 432. My 49 ft pine tree wire just
isn't all that friendly to V/UHF operation; in fact, I can't even pick up
any TV stations here in Mission Viejo on it =8-O

I have a low mounted Ed Fong tri-bander up here in CM97. I'll try to make a
few contacts and if the ancient Kenwood cooperates maybe 2m SSB.
