[VHFcontesting] CA QSO Party - VHF Plaque

[Tom Carney]

Thanks for the plug.  The contest committee is hoping to increase VHF
activity during the California QSO party.  California hams are being
encouraged to join in during designated VHF activity periods.  In addition
please monitor the FM frequency (147.54) for those mobiles.

73,  Tom  K6EU
 - Look for N6S from Sierra county -
