[NLRS] K0RAE VHF Sat, loooking to borrow 70, 1.2 ANT

[Aaron Lewis]

Greetings.  K0RAE and myself will be hilltopping near Baxter MN (in a POTA park) Saturday for the VHF contest 1300 till dark. We'll probably use K0RAE. Sorry for the short notice, but we are looking for a 70 cm and 1.2 Ghz antenna.  We'll be using my IC-9700 rig.  I have 2 meter yagi.  Donn, I deserve your derision for never getting around to making my own Cheap Yagis ;)

We're just looking for something to get us on air.  I have a MFJ-1916 (armstrong) mast.  Most of our own ideas are half-baked so your ideas and questions are welcome.  We're planning on SSB, CW, FT* on 6/2/70/1.2.  We do have 220 FM and a yagi on a ht.  If you can lend a 220 transverter (and it is foolproof to use), well, we're interested in trying anything and could do the other modes too.

We'll keep the spreadsheet plans updated as things unfold.
