The NLRS-Northwest stations will be QRV again during the June VHF test.

As with last year, we'll continue to promote more contacts by:
1) Utilizing the Northwest calling frequency: 144.245 MHz

2) Being on the air at 45 min past the hour

3) Concentrating our resources during windows of opportunity at 6:45, 7:45 and 8:45
both AM and PM during the test

4) Using rovers to activate more of the 25 grids Northwest of the Twin Cities:
	4a) K5UHF/R down HWY-59 in EN27, 17, 26, 16, 25, 15, 24, 14, 23, 13, 22, 21, etc.
on 144.180 MHz.
	4b) KG0DX/R down HWY-10 in EN27, 17, 26, 16, 36, 35, 25 & 15 on 144.245 MHz.
	4c) Other rovers are welcome (list of Northwest rover sites available on request)

5) Many of us are adding more bands for use in June.

6) Getting the closet VHFers on the air for the weekend.


So, get out the WD-40 to oil your rotor and practice turning it to the Northwest!

For more information catch us at Aurora/02 on April 27th.
