I will be setting up my FM Only category station on Reddish Knob at 4,500 feet
in FM08JL which is almost dead center for FM08.
100W and 12' boom beams on 6m, 2m, 1.25m & 70cm.
I will be calling CQ and listening primarily on 146.520 but will also be
working 52.525 (6m FM), 223.5 (1.25m FM) and 446.0 (70cm FM) as I QSY around
the lower four bands.
I have a demonstrated range of 250 miles on 2m and 1.25m FM. With recent
upgrades I hope for a similar ranges on 6m and 70cm. If you are in the
following grids (which I have reached before) please keep and ear open or give
me a call when you see a lull in SSB.
EN90 (SE), FN00, FN10, FN20 (SW)
EM99 (E), FM09, FM19, FM29(W)
EM98 (E), FM08, FM18
EM97(E), FM07, FM17 (NE)
EM96 (NE), FM06 (N), FM16 (NE)
If we make a Q on 2M FM but fail on the other bands I can always jump over to
SSB (6m & 70cm) to give you a couple extra points.
My cell is 703 678 6795. TEXT for a sched if desired. I am deep in the
National Radio Quiet Zone (with permission) so VOX cell is non existent, text
usually works. Contact me by midnight Friday (good cell coverage) and I will
put you on the list. Send your grid so I can aim the beams.
73 and good luck.
