[VHFcontesting] N2MO/MM to activate FM39 for contest

[mugs at intac.com]

To All,

I received the following email from Steve, N2CKH, about his club's
participation in the contest from FM39 abord the vessel BUMPS. Steve can be
reached at N2CKH at optonline.net

Hello Mark,

  We plan to be active again during September ARRL VHF contest as N2MO/MM,
  predicated on good weather of course. We hope to have many more operators
  next time around to keep all the stations active 100% of the time to
  provide even more opportunity to work FM-39.

  The beautiful trawling vessel BUMPS was made available by N2IHN for this
  high seas adventure. To learn more about the vessel BUMPS visit:
  http://www.njsr.com/bumps/. The team had a great time contesting at sea,
  taking into account all the challenges that abounded operating from an
  anchored boat in the ocean. This effort resulted in a seasick N2CKH, many
  happy VHF contesters and a claimed N2MO/MM score of over 45k points and
  lots of QSL cards.

  The vessel BUMPS will anchor about 200 feet center of 39° 59.652N and 73°
  59.213W off the New Jersey shoreline in view of land about the area of
  Normandy beach.
