[SCCC] Plans for CQ VHF This Weekend?

[Tim Goeppinger]

I hope to rove from our local grids this weekend for the CQ VHF, which begins at 11AM Saturday.
This is the easy contest.  Its truly just VHF - just 2 and 6 meters.

I think I will start out DM03 on Signal Hill, DM04 in Pasadena, then Diamond Bar for DM13 and DM14.  Not sure if I will go to
Grapevine for mults on Sunday, or maybe Table Mountain.

I hope we can continue the great amount of 2 meter FM activity, like we had for June VHF and Field Day.

I will again try to use FT8 sparingly just for distant grids.  Often I ignore local grids on FT8 early on. On 6m I will be on SSB
most of the time, maybe some CW if there is activity.

There are some rule differences in the CQ Contest.  Keep these in mind:

No use of 146.52 simplex. use .49, .55 and .58

No self spotting!  You can look at spots.

Remember this contest ends at 2100z Sunday (2PM) !

Hope to see you on the air!
