[Wswss] ARRL June VHF QSO Party 2009 K6XN SOLP CM99

[K6XN]

Team, 

 

FYI K6XN will be operating again in the ARRL June VHF QSO Party June 13 to
June 15 as a SOLP from CM99 at 5000 feet in the Sierras and the Sacramento
Valley ARRL Section. I will be on the following bands and modes during the
contest:

 

50 MHZ      SSB/CW              11 ELEMENT M2 AND 5 ELEMENT M2 YAGIS, 100
WATTS

144 MHZ    SSB/CW/FM        17 ELEMENT AND 28 ELEMENT YAGIS, 100 WATTS

220 MHz    SSB/CW/FM        23 ELEMENT M2 AND 11 ELEMENT YAGIS, 100 WATTS

430 MHZ    SSB/CW/FM        28  ELEMENT M2 AND 11 ELEMENT YAGIS, 100 WATTS

930 MHZ    FM                       17 ELEMENT M2 YAGI AND 9DB GAIN
VERTICAL, 10 WATTS

1296 MHZ  SSB/CW/FM         88 ELEMENT M2 PHASED YAGI ARRAY AND A 22 ELEMENT
M2 YAGI,   10 WATTS

 

I have put up some new towers and antennas since last year and replaced some
LMR-600 feed Iines with 7/8 inch Heliax which should be an improvement this
year over last year as the larger towers are 130 feet to 300 feet from the
cabin. I will be using mainly batteries and solar power again this year as I
will be in a wilderness area without commercial power. See you in the
pileups and I hope I will be a multiplier or two for you from CM99 this
year!  73, Ted, K6XN
