[VHFcontesting] ARRL June VHF QSO Party W3SZ

[w3sz]

Hello, All!

W3SZ will operational for the entire contest from FN20ag as either SOLP or  
SOHP; haven't decided yet but am leaning towards SOLP ;)

All bands 50 MHz thru 24 GHz should be available.

I can do digital modes as well as SSB/CW and would be happy to arrange any  
desired skeds.

To help distant stations decide if its worth setting up a sked, here are  
my station parameters:

I am approx 1000 feet ASL with no significant local obstructions.

Power and antenna stats on each band are:

50 MHz       150 watts        M2 6M5X 9.4 dBd
144 MHz      180 watts		M2 2M9SSB 12 dBd
222 MHz      120 watts [or 100 watts if SOLP]      M2 222-5WL 15.2 dBd
432 MHz      50 watts      M2 432-9WL 17.2 dBd
