[Wswss] ARRL JUNE VHF CONTEST THIS WEEKEND AND K6XN/CM99

[K6XN]

Team, this weekend I will be operating again from CM 99 at a 5000 foot
elevation in the Sierras for the ARRL June VHF Contest. I will be on 6M, 2M,
220 MHz, 430 MHz and 1296 MHz primarily on SSB and CW but also FM running
low power for the contest but I can QRO up to a KW on 6M and 2M before and
after the contest.  I will be leaving my Bay area CM 87 home QTH early
Friday morning for the Sierras and CM 99 and I will have no email access
after 0800 Friday morning. I will be testing my antennas and amplifiers
Friday afternoon and Saturday morning before the contest and I will be
monitoring the SSB calling frequencies on all five bands as often as I can
while I am up there working on the cabin. I plan to return to CM 87 on
Monday after the contest. Please don't expect too much from me on 1296 MHz
as I will only be running 10W to a 22 element horiz polarized yagi on 1296
MHz until I get a larger 1296 MHz array up later this summer.

 

See you in the pileups! 73, Ted, K6XN
