[HCRA] Field Day VHF Station

[George Collins]

Hello,

If anyone wants to put a VHF/UHF station on the air for Field Day, I'll be 
glad to loan some equipment to the cause.  I have a 6-el Hygain 6-meter Yagi 
that is really a nice antenna (~28' boom), a 13-el Cushcraft 2-m Boomer 
(pretty fair antenna) and I have a couple smaller (12 or 13 element) 432 
antennas.  I may have a pair of 15-el Qagis by FD time.  I also have a 
rotator that will turn anything we would want to put up.  I'll bring my 
FT-897D if nothing better is available.  The FT-897 is fine on 6 and pretty 
good on 2, but doesn't hear that well on 70 cm and only outputs 10 watts. 
For FD, sticking to just 6 and 2 is probably okay anyway.

I can help with the antenna setup, but won't have much time to operate.

Don't forget, the ARRL Spring VHF Contest is this coming weekend.

73,

George, KC1V
