Hi everyone,
I'll be doing the June VHF contest on Sat. and Sun. @ 5pm to 9pm each day. I'll be on the frequencies of 222, 432 and 902. Reason is that my 2m and 23cm freq is out of commission until I either check the problem to the antenna myself (iffy this contest) or I have some help troubleshooting. I was in a car accident and still recovering physically. I can't climb a tower or a ladder (with a lot of effort) until I heal. This contest will get me ready for the UHF contest and hopefully 1296 (23cm) will be up then.

I'm doing this contest for my late wife as this was her contest (she was KC0RAD). The UHF contest and the January (when available) were mine. So I'll be doing a check log attempt at this contest. 6m is not even going to be attempted until I get 2m working.
My goal, if not occupied, is to CQ on .150 for 222 and/or 432. 902.1 will be my standard. But my reference is 222 on odd hours and 432 on even hours with antenna position based on the analog clock minute hand position (5 pm pointing north, 5:15pm pointing east, 5:30 pointing south, etc).

  I run SOLP during all contests for those that don't know.
