I haven't seen many posts about January VHF Sweepstakes activity yet, so 
I thought I would throw my hat in the ring...  Less than two weeks left, 
you can find more info here:

Due to circumstances beyond my control, the K9ZF /R rover station will 
be grounded for this test.   Hopefully the auto market will recover soon...

Anyway, if I can get my  dinky home station antennas up in time I will 
be on from home.  EM78el.   I will have 6 & 2, 100 watts, and small 
yagis around 20' or so...  In the past I have found this will work about 
20 stations over the course of a weekend, so I'm leaning toward making 
this an "all digital" contest:-)   I haven't worked any scatter in a 
couple of years, but I'm going to give it a try.  Skeds welcome, just 
keep in mind my dinky station:-)

It would really be cool if I could work 100 QSO's, and 100 mults :-))

So, what are your plans?
