[HamTips] Mountaintop Action on Mount Herman Sunday

[Bob Witte (K0NR)]

Hi all,
This weekend is the January VHF Contest, so we have a group headed to 
Mount Herman to operate from there on Sunday.
We will be on HF and VHF for normal Summits On The Air activity and on 
the VHF/UHF bands for the contest.
It looks like we have 5 operators, so we will be covering a number of bands.
Operators are: Bob/K0NR, Joyce/K0JJW, Steve/WG0AT, Jon/KM4PEH, Brad/WA6MM.

For the SOTA activity (especially the HF), keep an eye on SOTAwatch: 
https://sotawatch.sota.org.uk/

For VHF contest activity, look for us on:

    146.52 FM
    146.55 FM (we will call on .52 but try to move off of it so we don't
    monopolize the calling freq)
    446.0 FM
    144.200 USB
    50.125 USB
    423.100 USB

We expect to be on the air starting at around 11:15 AM and we'll go 
until our behinds are frozen (probably 2 to 4 hours).

To work us in the VHF contest, you'll need to know your grid locator.
Grid locator info is here:

We will all be using our own callsigns, so try to work us all on all 
bands you can.

We hope to "see you on the air."
