Its this weekend, 1 PM Saturday to 1 PM Sunday (24 hrs). Don't plan to wait to get on until Sunday night ! The contest exchange is your six digit (not four digit) grid locator, for example EN34it. Six digits are used for increased precision as to your location because the contest is based on distance. Oh yea, its 222 and up.
Not seeing a lot of posted activity. Check out Paul's 222MHz & Up Distance Contest activity spreadsheet at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1rvE8977WNx7KWtkCpLWmmQS38923TLVFOuCZcFrkyII/edit#gid=1
and post your plans. Note along the bottom of the spreadsheet that there is a tab for fixed stations and a tab for rovers.
Also note the Upper Midwest Spotting page for during the contest at www.w0uc.com/spots.html
Right now the weather forecast for Saturday afternoon calls for 60% chance of rain while Sunday looks dry.
73, JonW0ZQ
