[VHFcontesting] KI0SK/R January contest plans

["Erich Oetting KI0SK" <ki0sk@arrl.net>]

N0BAF (Dan) and are going roving this weekend with a 4 band setup.  We 
will have a bit more power than last time on 6 and 432.   Look for us 
on or about the SSB calling frequencies.

When we stop, the setup and bands will be:
6 - 100 watts into a Moxon.
2 - 50 watts into 6 elements.
220 - 20 watts into 7 elements.
432 - 20 watts into 12 elements.

In motion, we will only have vertical antennas.  But sometimes that is 
plenty.  We will check 147.42, and 446 FM from time to time, but 
haven't had much luck with FM during VHF contests.  I might be able to 
put an FM signal in 223.5, but will not know for sure before the 
weekend.

Plan is to head east and hit DM89 when the contest starts.  From there 
we will head South to DM88 and DM87.  Then back West to DM77 and North 
via DM78 to home in DM79.  We will probably average about two hours or 
less in each grid.  If all goes well, on Sunday we will do a loop to 
the North and East.

Did anyone arrange for a six meter opening like we had last June?
