 Hi Aaron.    I will not be on for the Sept VHF contest so my 6' boom end mount antennas are available.  I'll be here through THIS Friday, then gone so you would need to pick them up today or tomorrow, address is the same:  9512 Riverview Ave, Bloomington.   Cell is 952-836-7288
73, JonW0ZQ

  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.
