[VHFcontesting] KK6MC/r Plans for VHF Contest

[James Duffey]

The KK6MC/r is slowly taking shape. Here is my planned itinerary:

Saturday
DM 84  	1800Z

DM 85  	2030Z

If there is enough activity, I may stay longer, if there isn't much I  
will leave early.

 From there I will travel to DM86. I will have an omni 6M antenna and  
in principle can operate on 6M in motion. We will see how that works  
out in practice.

We will stay in Clayton overnight and operate if there is activity.

Sunday
DM86  	1400Z

DM76 	1800Z

DM76 	2200Z

Again this will depend on activity. There are 2 stops in DM76 to work  
the small stations in the Rio Grande Valley.

 From there it will be home and I will try to operate DM65 from the  
driveway. Anything I work from there will be gravy.

I have been working on an intermittent audio problem on the 6M rig, it  
appears to be acceptable now, but I thought I had it fixed before. I  
may have to operate CW on 6M. So if you hear CW it is likely me.  
Please come back. I can QRS, just ask.


6M 	IC551D 		75 Watts 	2 element Yagi, Square loop while in motion

2M 	TR-9130/TE-1512 150 Watts 	6 element Yagi (1wl boom)

70cm 	FT780 		10 Watts 	11 element Yagi (2.1wl boom)

Yes, I know I need to add 220 MHz. That will come.

I realize that this is only 6 grids, but I learned my lesson in  
January about being too ambitious. This schedule is realizable.

Please listen for me and I hope to work you from all grids on all  
bands! - Duffey
