[NLRS] [BC'ers] VHF+ promotion at and for Field Day

[Dave, WV9E]

W9MVA will be operating from the top of the Onalaska parking ramp.  Located 
on the
Gunderson Clinic campus along I-90.  We will have decent antennas and power 
on 50,
144,222 and 432.  Will have 903 and 1296, both 10 watts small yagis and 
potentially
rather primative depending on how the coax count turns out.  I'll be 
printing a copy of
the vhf FD plans along with sat pass predictions.  We'll probably do most of 
our hard
vhf'ing in the evening Saturday and morning on Sunday.It will depend on how 
6 behaves
and available operators.

Club website : www.mvara.net  our FD locator is:
EN43ju (intersection I-90- hwy 16)LaCrosse County Wisconsin

Have a safe Field Day and hope to hear you on V/Uhf..

73,
Dave, WV9E

> Most FD sites only do 6 and 2 meters. Please know that W9LO will have 6,
> 2, 222, 432, 902, no1.2, 2.3G, and 10G.  Our site is not very high

> Please forward this beyond the Badger Contesters and Northern Lights
> Radio Society reflectors.  And see you on VHF+ this weekend!
