[PPRAANet] FW: [RMVHF] ARRL June VHF QSO Party 6/14-15

[Rick Brown]

Folks,
 
Anyone with a DC to Daylight rig that includes six and two meters can get on
an make some contacts this weekend.  While most activity is horizontally
polarized don't hesitate to give it a try with any antenna you have.  This
evening there were six meter contacts from Colorado stations to Japan and
some two  meter E-Skip as well.  It could be a great weekend on VHF.  Hope
that I work you.
 
73,

GMCC/RMVHF:

This is a reminder that the ARRL June 14-15 VHF QSO Party is this coming
weekend.  This is the biggest vhf contest of the year when a lot of rovers
and portable stations get on to activate grids all across the US and Canada.
6 and 2m are the most popular of the vhf bands used with most people running
50 to 100 watts on the bands to a variety of vhf antennas from dipoles to
yagis.  While the gasoline costs might limit some roving, those who are
still planning to rove will be eager for your contact.

Even getting on for a few QSOs are helpful to the vhf contest community,
especially if you are in a grid with little or no vhf activity.  If you can
only operate mobile, try to get on the calling frequencies - 50.125 and
144.200 - and take along a grid map so you can reference which multiplier to
give out.

Hope to hear you on this weekend.

73 Ken, W0ETT
