> Want to have some fun with ham radio in the Colorado mountains this 
> summer? We have two EXCELLENT opportunities for some mountaintop 
> radio action coming up in July and August: the CQ Worldwide VHF 
> Contest and the Colorado 14er Event. 
>  
> The CQ Worldwide VHF Contest will be on July 17 and 18th. Unlike most
> VHF contests, the CQ WW VHF uses only the 6 Meter (50 MHz) and 2 
> Meter (144 MHz) bands. More importantly, it has a new Hilltopper 
> category that is targeted at people that don't have the time and 
> energy to operate all weekend. This category is limited to a 6 hour 
> operating window and QRP power levels (10W max). Put this all
> together and you have a 6-hour, mountain top operating event focused 
> on the two most popular VHF bands. This is just begging those FT-817 
> owners to charge up those batteries and give it a go on six and two 
> meters.
