We will be out in this weekend's UHF contest, mostly just handing out a f=
ew
QSO's to anyone who needs them.  On Saturday afternoon (and maybe a littl=
e bit
on Sunday), we'll be on from EN34 and EN35.

On Sunday, we'll make a run to the Eau Claire area and activate EN44 and =
EN45,
and try to make contacts into Eau Claire from EN34 and EN35 as well.

We will be monitoring 223.5 FM constantly and putting out CQ's there with=
 1.5
watts and a quarter-wave magmount.  We will probably not have anything to=
 run
& gun on 432 (other than a rubber duck inside the car).  I still need to =
put
together something tonight for 432, but we'll have some kind of omni ante=
nna
at about 10 feet and will be operating when stopped.

This will be a pretty laid back rove, but we look forward to making lots =
of
local contacts (and checking out our brand "new" IC-3AT.)
