and the Sacramento Valley ARRL Section. I will be on the following bands and

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 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!  I  will
be packing the Jeep and leaving my Saratoga QTH and heading up to the cabin
this Friday morning and I should be at the cabin and periodically monitoring
the calling frequencies beginning sometime Friday after about 2:00 PM PDST
and until the contest starts Saturday morning before the contest as I check
out equipment and make tests. If you need CM99 for a new grid square please
just give me a call on a calling frequency or send me an e-mail before about
0900 Friday morning and I will try to make a sched for you before the
contest.  If needed I can QRO to a KW +/- on either 6M or 2M but I usually
run only low power as I have no commercial power up at my summer cabin in
the Sierras and I am usually relying on batteries, solar power and a small
generator.  I will not Internet access from the cabin this weekend.   GL and
73, Ted, K6XN
