[VHFcontesting] VE7AFZ/R plans for the Sept VHF contest

[Mark Spencer]

Sorry it looks like I can no longer access my planned site in CO81.   I will do some exploring tomorrow and see what else I can find but I don't expect to be on the air at 8am tomorrow (if at all.)

73

Will spend some time on MSK144 on 50.260 (alt frequency if needed is 50.263) 144.150 and 222.080 as well as SSB / CW on the customary calling frequencies or 20 KHz up if needed.   Expect to stay until at least 10am or longer if there is a reasonable band opening.   Main effort will be on 50 MHz but will call on 144 and 222 from time to time.
