[VHFcontesting] 2015 SBMS 2.3 GHz and Up Contest

[Willis Parr]

Funny that this was posted just as I was imagining what fun it would be to find someone gearing up for this contest while we are in and around San Bernardino County this coming week. 
I am a new vhf contest enthusiast and would love for the XYL to see what can be done above 432. ( In other words, to get her approval.)
We are leaving Texas Monday and will arrive in San Diego Tuesday, to begin our So Cal vacation. 
We will arrive in San Bernardino Wed. evening and depart for the High Desert Thurs. afternoon. 
If anyone is out and about, please contact me at k0axx at aol.com.
 I will have VHF/UHF FM capabilities along the way and have many area repeaters programmed.

 73,

Will / K0AXX

>N6NB has asked me to post the following announcement about the San Bernadino Microwave Society 2 GHz and Up contest to the VHF Contesting reflector. This contest started out as a regional contest, but has grown to national interest. The rules are reasonable, scoring is distance based, roving is encouraged, and there is a club competition. Looks like fun. - Duffey KK6MC
