Hello everyone,

Dick K2LCT, Brian KC9EMW, Tom K0GIE, Tom's son CJ and I will operate from
DM77 for the ARRL VHF/UHF contest this weekend.  We will have 170 watts on
6m and 2m, 10 watts on 222 MHz, 120 watts on 430 MHz, and 10 watts on 1.2
GHz, plus 3 towers and lots of antennas!  If we are not working a pile-up we
will monitor the SSB calling frequencies (50.125, 144.200, 222.100, 432.100
and 1296.100 MHz). On FM we will try to monitor 147.42 MHz simplex.  Feel
free to give us a call!

Unfortunately, this means that we won't be able to attend the club picnic.
If people want to work us from the picnic site itself then it will make us
feel a little more connected (plus it will give us a whole bunch of
points!).  The contest starts at noon Saturday and ends at 2100 Sunday.  If
you can't get through at the picnic try us from home - just point your beams
south.

Hope to work "all y'all" (sorry - an American expression I've picked up down
here!).
