[NLRS] 222 & Up Distance Contest next weekend

Sat Aug 5 10:07:28 EDT 2017

I plan to rover pack with teammate W0ZF/R (team name: UHF Da!).
FM-only on 222 (5 W and 3 elements), all-mode on 432.110 with up to 20
W and 7 elements.
I have primed the Bloomington club for a FM focus time of 4:00-4:30 PM
local on 446.000.  I haven't heard any response that folks will be on,
but if you're in/near Bloomington you might turn on the handheld.
Another FM focus time is scheduled for 12:00-12:30 PM local Sunday.

If you know you can work a friend or two, sign up as a team before
1700z!  http://contest-log-submission.arrl.org/teamreg.php

Regards,
  Bill
