[SCCC] Want to make a QSO on Saturday 10/18/25 to grid squares CM94TB/TA/UB/UA

[Ken Alker]

I will be on San Miguel Island tomorrow from around 11:30am - 4:00pm. I will bring my VHF/UHF HT and a portable Arrow yagi antenna (and MAYBE a QRP HF rig - although unlikely since I don't think I have one small/light enough). 

I have no idea what the terrain is like or if I'll even be able to find a suitable spot to transmit, so don't hold your breath, but, if interested, do monitor the SBARC repeater network and WB6OBB. I'll try to announce via the SBARC Santa Ynez Peak repeater (145.180MHz) and/or the WB6OBB Broadcast Peak repeater (147.000Mhz). If I can hit one of those, I will announce first. If I can't hit them, but I can find a suitable place from which to transmit, I'll start on simplex 146.520. I'll probably eat lunch and do some hiking before trying to transmit, so I have no idea what time I will/may be transmitting, so be patient. 

I will be in one (or more) of the grid squares listed in the subject. If you want me to try hitting another repeater to announce, please let me know the frequency, offset, and PL via email by Friday night (that's tonight, as not sure I'll have email access tomorrow, Saturday). 

Feel free to spread the word. Some people may not have a logged contact with grid square CM94 even though I've lit it up from Hollister Ranch/Gaviota Campground (mainland) in the past.
