[WIham] Fun Surprise With 144.240 SSB Net Tonight @8pm

[Todd Sprinkmann]

   I learned just before 10am this morning that we're going 
to have an interesting twist with the 144.240 SSB net tonight.   
W9FZ Bruce will be taking a multi-band rover station 
(with good horizontal yagis and power) to a yet-to-be-
determined location  in either NE or N Central WI tonight.   

   There are some details to be ironed out, so it will *really* 
pay to be in the on4kst.com real-time VHF chat room 
tonight.   The chat is free, no BS and available 24/7 for any 
USA/VE hams.   Wed. nights it has good activity anyway, 
so check it out.   Registration is quick and simple.   The room 
you want is "IARU Region 2 144-432 MHz".   

    Many of you have noticed in my signature the link to 
wivuch.com.   That's a program I started this spring to award 
anyone who works at least 20 different WI counties on any 
V/UHF band (50 MHz and up, no repeater contacts allowed)  
WV9E in Onalaska has won the initial award -- he did this some 
weeks ago -- details are at www.wivuch.com  

     W9FZ is going out in a stacked mobile/rover station tonight 
to activate a difficult WIVUCH county.   One that isn't typically 
on the air (from a VHF/UHF perspective).   Like I said, the 
details aren't 100% firmed up yet.   I doubt I'll be able to email in 
time, so plan on being on the air tonight, and use the on4kst.com 
chat so you will know what's going on.   I'll share the details from 
W9FZ this evening in that chat.   Knowing Bruce's rover station, 
he should be workable in a 100-150 mile radius.   

      Should be fun...
