[VHFcontesting] 2M Classic Sprint

[Jim Johnson]

I too saw this event this morning on contestcalendar.org.  

I have been working on an old F9FT 2m Tonna and have it ready to go on the tower, probably around 48', but having trouble lining up a bucket truck for the installation.  So it is unlikely that I can get in the mix, but I might be able to listen from my 10' test installation... 

GL with the new event and glad to see that there is still interest in CW/SSB VHF activities.

I saw that too. Someone announced the cumulative sprint here back a few 
weeks ago. I was wondering if anyone in the NE would be on? I still have 
yet to make a contact with my newly repaired 144 MH rotatable yagi system.
