If you will be near our path, we welcome an email or phone call to let us know
where you are at and that you will be on the air! Please pass this on to ham
clubs and other distribution methods in the OK, KS, NE, IA, MO areas.
Nick Farlow, KB0YHT and myself, Randy Wing, N0LD, plan to activate several
grids this weekend in the September VHF Contest in the midwest. Our antennas
will include a loop for 6m, 2 stacked loops for 2m, and 2 stacked loops for
70cm. We will have 100 watts on 6m, 200 watts on 2m, and 100 watts on 70cm.
We will have an FM 70 cm / 2m mobile with 50 watts that we will turn on
periodically to avoid conflict with the higher power SSB radio - we will
monitor 146.52 mhz during these times. We are also carrying a 220 mhz
handheld, just in case someone needs that, but we won’t be calling CQ on it.
Our path will take us from near Kingfisher, OK to Harper, KS to Wichita, KS, to
Salina, KS, to Omaha, NE, to KC, MO, to Joplin, MO, to Tulsa, OK, to Edmond,
OK, to Choctaw, OK:
