Hello NLRS land
The ARRL June VHF testing is June 9/10. With the long days and improved propagation, its always a fun event. I can remember roving one year and sitting in EN25 and working a pile-up on 6m with 100 watts and dipole at 12'. Being a rover seems to add 10 dB. I remember another year being in EN24 and working NY on 2m E's ... what a hoot. During that opening I worked on recent Tech on 2m who was in his kitchen in NYC running 40 watts into a 5/8 wave mag mount on his refrigerator .... he could not believe that I was in MN.
So what is everyone up to this year? Not sure what I'll be doing has I am significantly involved with a home remodeling project and no chance to rove this year, unless is a mini-rove with the lower four bands and 5.7 & 10G ... TBD.
73, Jon
