[NLRS] N0AKC June Contest Plans

[Charlie Betz]

It's been a busy week/weekend.  Installed antennas here Friday night until 11:30PM and most of yesterday at KB9TLV's repairing/installing antennas & new rotor.

The 902 & 1296 yagis have been relocated to the top of the tower, at about the 60' level.  While not a huge cahnge in elevation, they should both now clear the trees. The new 222 & 432 antennas  (M2 222-7WL & 432-13WL) are on the tower and hopefully I will get some time this week to troubleshhot the preamp box.    If not, I'll do without preamps.  Hopefully will have time to complete and install the dish for 2304.

Assuming the dish gets up on the tower, I will be active from the home QTH (Eau Claire, WI, EN44gu) on 2, 2, 222, 432, 902, 1296 & 2304.  At the present time, it does not look like the 2304 amp will be up and running.  I also have work to do to get the 902 & 1296 cavity amps going, so taht may not happen.

Current setup is as follows:

6M: 100 watts & 5 elements at 73'
2M: 1kW & 17 elements @ 80'
222: 500 watts and 23 elements @ 54'
432: 250 watts and 38 elements @ 57'
902: 40 watts and 33 elements @ 60'
1296: 15 watts and 55 elements @ 60'
2304: 2 watts and 3ft. dish at 50'  (assuming it gets installed in time)

10 GHz will not be operational (unless a rover stops in my yard, then I'll pull it out)

Looking forward to lots of contacts and hopefully good propogation.
