The ARRL's June VHF contest is this coming weekend. Since its June, sporadic Es and 6m plays a big part in activity however all bands above 50 MHz are in play. Last year we had Es on 2m as well working into Florida and Georgia. Also in this contest there is an Analog Only category so don't forget to make some noise on SSB/CW too. Yes, you can only work a station once per band regardless of mode, but, the only way to work those Analog Only guys is to go to SSB or CW. Doesn't it seems a little silly to be working weak signal modes when signals are at S9+ ?

You can post your contest plans and see others on W0UCs activity page at

During the contest you can monitor and use his Upper Midwest VHF+ Spotting page at
