    Wednesday has become an exciting night for longer-range 
VHF communications.   Many of you have 2m SSB with your 
all-bands-in-one-box rigs.   Get a horizontally-polarized antenna 
to maximize your range and  hear what you've been missing.   

    We have Terry KA0KYZ in EN33, SE MN, who is on 
144.230, starting at 7pm.   He is easily workable clear across 
WI, has a good QTH and decent beam antennas.   

    We also have Mark WB9LYH in EN54, near WI Rapids.   
Huge signal -- he regularly works guys out to 300-500 miles, 
even with flat band conditions.   Mark is on 144.240, and 
focuses on stations to his east at first.   WB9LYH is more 
focused on WI starting about 7:30pm central.   

    More detail is always available at kc9bqa.com.   

    We also encourage the use of a real-time chat room on Wed. 
nights.   It's free, no BS, and available for all USA/VE hams.   
Go to www.on4kst.com and follow the prompts to register.   Once 
registered, choose "IARU Region 2 Chat for 144/432 MHz"
