[VHFcontesting] NU4E in 2m sprint tonight

[Ed Kucharski]

My cut and paste from my cell phone got a little too truncated. Here's more info on Matt's itinerary including grid.

Locator will be EM85MI at 6020ft asl. I´ll start in SSB around 144.200 for the first minutes, I try to get as much of SSB in the log as possible. I have me key with me but last time on 70cm I tried lots of CW without luck. Also I´m not sure where CW portion is if if someone is monitoring is so I guess it will be SSB and digi with some CW calls around 144.200.
There is little to no cell phone coverage up there so I can´t go to the ON4KST chat or the DX Cluster. If you hear me calling somewhere it would be great if you could give me a spot maybe someone will tun the antenna to me. I hope to get a few QSOs in the log, weather should be chilli, first time since months that I have a jacket in my car.
I´m using about 150W and a 6 element around 15ft high. I have no rotator with me, so leaving the car to turn the antenna every once in a while. I plan to stay 2h, maximum 2.5 hours depending on QSOs, but I guess I´ll close at 9:30pm and take down the station to drive back home.
