[NLRS] VHF during Field Day? What our your plans?

[Ed WB0VHF]

Yes, W0MR - the Mining ARC and St. Paul Radio Club Field Day effort will 
again be operational at Tartan Park in Lake Elmo. The VHF station will 
be headed up by NLRS' own Ray, WB0EBG, with 6M being the main band, but 
I believe 2M will be there, and maybe 70CM. The 847 likely will be 
barefoot again, as we are in the 150W class, and the 2M and 70CM amps 
are bigger than that.

73,
