[SCCC] 432 / 446 MHZ Sprint is Wednesday Night

[Drew Arnett]

Don't know my plans, yet.  Work has been busy so a bit behind on prep.
At the least, I'll get someplace a bit elevated with HT and rubber
duck.  Forecast is for chance drizzle (like 0.02 or 0.01 in depending
on where I go.)  Why does this matter?  Because I haven't varnished
the wooden boom on my little wa5vjb 450 MHz antenna that worked so
well last year!

So, yeah, will get on FM simplex at least.  And maybe 432.100.
Haven't had enough spare time to setup for FT8/Q65/whatever for
portable, yet.

The 440 sprint was a blast last year!  Was that because Marty had all
of his students on and that brought out a lot of supporters for them?
