[MAMS] June contest plans

[Zack Widup]

I'd LOVE to have it in the mid-50's. I've operated the September 10 GHz
weekend in that temperature range. I've operated portable in the January
VHF contest many times; a few years it was 10 degrees outside and in some
years I set up / tore down in an ice storm or blizzard.

You can always put on more clothes when it's cooler but there's only so
much you can take off in the summer. When the highs are 90 degrees I can't
get enough water. One year in the June contest I kept having to drive 10
miles to Gibson City to get more ice / water.

I hope I can work you this year. I'll only be running 10 watts.

73, Zack W9SZ
