[VHFcontesting] Jan VHF Contest W3SZ

Hello, All,

It is almost perfect antenna-work weather here, 10 degrees!  It could only  
be better if it were snowing or sleeting, and the wind weren't so slight.   
I understand it is even colder in New England [as usual].

I will be active for the Contest this weekend on all bands 50 MHz - 24 GHz  
inclusive.

I will be entered as 'high power', but am actually 'low power' on all  
bands except 1296 [15 watts], 2304 [12 watts] and 3456 [30 watts].

On 50 - 432 MHz I have only 150/75/100/45 watts respectively.  My ERP is  
significantly higher for 902 MHz and above than on the lower bands.  So if  
we can work on the lower bands and the distance seems reasonable, don't  
assume we can't do it on the higher bands just because my signal is not  
rock-crushing on the lower bands ;)

If you want to set up any skeds [sorry, probably won't have digital modes  
functional this time] please email me before 0500 UTC Saturday, as I will  
likely be without email access after that.

If you want/need to test things out, I can be available anytime Thursday  
or Friday, and Saturday before the contest.

Good luck to all, and

73,

Roger
