[SJRA-Members] ARRL VHF contest starts Saturday 2PM

[J DORAN]

Hi,  three items  1 -  Attached Contest listing in pdf form that will be passed around during Jan 23 meeting.  

2. This weekend ARRL VHF contest starts at 2PM Saturday, ending Sunday nite at 11PM.    With rule changes over the last few years this contest now offers more members an opportunity to make contacts with each other.  

All modes can be used,  yes  AM, SSB, CW, FT8, PSK, etc   AND   FM  
You can utilize spotting networks of all types AND even use the SJRA repeater to self spot.  

You could even exclusively use FM to make your contacts and file your results (just dont use the repeater to actually make the contact - you can set up or self spot on the repeater and then move to a Simplex frequencies such as 144.535, 144.550 etc,  same for 440Mhz)

So turn on and monitor K2AA this weekend and split off from there to make contacts.  Also recommend look for each other on 50.150 on Six meters,  144.260 on Two meters.   These are the two frequencies that SJRA uses for monthly simplex nets.  

For full rules see ARRL.org  contest area.   Exchange is just grid squares.  

And finally item 3.     Please stop by and join me in next two meter FM net on Monday Jan 21 at 8PM on 145.290, PL 91.5 when I will be the host.  

Thanks    John, W2FDJ
