[VHFcontesting] EN86 for the contest, then EN67 because we can...

[Tom]

My three buddies and myself plan to be in EN86 for the VHF contest. We 
should actually be set up by tomorrow night, Friday, June 8. We will be 
on the air before the contest, 6 meters only. We have a K3, KPA500 and a 
M2 5 element, up about 50 feet in our "Ham-Van". (as seen in Dayton this 
year). We would like to be on other bands, but for other reasons, it 
will be 6 only. I promise if the band opens up, we will be on voice and 
CW, but if the conditions are a little poor, we will be on FT8, and 
hopefully MSK144 in the morning for any rocks.

Look for the call K8JH. (pictures of the van are on his QRZ page, along 
with schedule updates)

Then on June 11, we will pack up from EN86 and truck on over to EN67 at 
Brockway Mountain. We have the permit from the township to stay over 
night at the lookout point. We should be on the air from late Monday, 
June 11 until Friday, June 15. 6 meters only (we will also be on 20 FT8, 
maybe 40 for the ARRL grid Square contest. ). We are praying that we 
have access to Internet up there, if so, we will be on the ON4KST page. 
Again, look for K8JH.

Hopefully a group of 65 years olds can survive this, and we will return 
home. Saturday, June 16.
