Good afternoon. Well ,  I will be QRV out at the farm for the contest primarily on 6 QRPp and 2m QRO ...... I will be on SSB , CW and all digital modes .  The June contest has always been my favorite time of the year but this year is a bit different as it probably be the last contest out at the farm QTH . This is due to the fact that as a defunct dairy farm , the barn next to the converted milk room that I use is in poor condition due to the lack of maintenance . So , we agreed to have the power line removed incase of a building failure ...... The QTH is very , very low noise and over the years I have found a very pronounced ground gain on moon rise on 144 even with either 2m systems and antenna heights .  Any way , I do have 432  Amplifier #2  at over 90% completion ( a.k.a " FQA Special " ) . I may get the B+ rectifiers replaced as I just got  20 some 1N5408s to use in lieu of the High voltage rectifier modules that have been on order for over a month and a half   . Maybe Sunday . 73s and C U in The Contest !
