With the 2 Meter Sprint behind us for 2007 tonight happens to be the 222
Sprint sponsored by the Southeast VHF Society (http://www.svhfs.org/.
The W4SHG/R vessel will again be out in trek mode for the running of the 222
mhz Spring Sprint 9/24/2007.
Look for the W4SHG/R in the following locations:
7:00pm - 7:40pm FM18AX Sky Meadows State Park 1000ft ASL
8:00pm - 8:40pm FM19AB Mount Weather 1700ft ASL
9:10pm - 9:40pm FM09WB (Middle of No-where) 700ft ASL
10:10pm - 10:30pm FM08US Little Devil Stairs (Looking South) 3200ft ASL
10:35pm - 11:00pm FM08US Hogback (Looking North/North/West) 3200ft ASL
I will be active while in flight and will be on 222.122 while on the move.
The Expediton Rover will have 12 Elements with rotator and 250 horsepower :)
This year we are going to give the new Yaesu FT-450 a go with the Elecraft
VX-222.
I found the receiver a bit crushed with big signals nearby in the 144
Sprint, we shall see how it fares on a quieter band.
I look forward to hearing many as we will look hard down South at 10:10pm
and then North East from 10:25 to 11:00pm.
I hope to hear loads of activity.
Respectfully Submitted
Steve Gilmore - W4SHG
