Hi John,
After missing the ARRL June Contest this year (family and emergencies trump contesting) I'm planning on making up for it during the CQ WW VHF .... It'll just be DM12, not necessarily rare, but the current plan is to run long boom antennas on both bands - possibly stacked for the long haul stuff, and then smaller yagis and vertical omni's for the "close in" stuff. All modes and Digital are planned ... Almost all of Arizona and the western parts of Nevada are relatively easy targets, up north in California to Sacramento is a bit harder but not too bad even without any propagation .. If I get a pair of 'JHV's up as planned, six could be very interesting ...
That said, on your side, if six is open even a little, 100 watts and small yagi's are more than enough to work hundreds if not thousands of miles ... hope to work you if you in two weeks ..

I'm considering a trip to CN71 on July 19, 20th and am wondering if anyone would be interested in these grids. I'd only have 100 watts and fairly small antennas on 6 and 2m.
Let me know,
John
