I plan to be QRV and still looking for my last 10 grids for VUCC. If
anyone is thinking of doing some portable work I would love to see someone
in the following grids:
CN71, 80, CM93, DM02, 15, 16, 17, 22, 23, 24 or any DM/DN 1x or 2x grids
in NV
If anyone is planning a trip to any of those grids with a 222 SSB/CW radio,
but doesn't have an antenna and/or amp I may be able to provide a loaner.
