> Hi All -
>
> We need your help for a special contesting effort.
>
> Next weekend (Aug 1-2) is the ARRL UHF Contest.  It runs from 1 pm
> Saturday until 1 pm Sunday and you can operate on any of the bands from 
> 222 MHz
> and up.
>
> We will be operating from Buck Hill Ski Area in Burnsville, MN with all
> bands from 222 MHz through 24 GHz.  Our call will be W0AUS.  We have  been
> planning this multi-op for almost a year now.  Most bands will have  good 
> power
> to very short feedlines with the antennas up on top of the ski  hill.
>
> Do you ever look in QST and see the same stations winning the same 
> contests
> over and over?  This is the case with most VHF contests.  There is a
> super-station multi-op in WMA with the call W2SZ.  They have great 
> operators,
> great equipment and seem to win almost all the time.
>
> We want to change that.  Not only do we want to win the category but  we
> want to break the all-time score in the process.  We've been working to 
> get
> every available operator on the air for the UHF Contest and we have 
> several
> rovers that will be out portable.
>
> We need your help to be active in the contest and work our multi-op (and
> everyone else you can hear).  Our multi-op will be calling on 222.115 MHz
> and 432.115 MHz on SSB and CW.  We will also be calling throughout the
> contest on 223.5 MHz and 446.0 MHz FM.  Every QSO will help us get closer 
> to our
> goal.
>
> Thanks in advance for your help!  We're praying for good weather and  some
> good propagation!
