[NLRS] 3 Days Til The UHF Contest - K0JSP/R Plans

[Jeff Pahl]

Rich-

It looks like I have a limited time availability, but I'm going to try
and get out for a few hours on Saturday afternoon and head out to the
33/34/43/44 corner at St. Charles.

I plan to have:

220 - FM HT @ 5 watts, but at least I should be able to work anyone
else near the corner
432
1296 - 10 W, 10 dBi antenna.  Not all that sure I will be able to work
the W0AUS group with this from there but will try
10G ?? - depends on if I get some stuff fixed.  100 mW, 17 dB horn.


I'm also going to try, time permitting, to get on from a couple of
high spots here in Rochester for the two activity hours, once from
EN33 and once from EN34.
