Tried to post this earlier today but it must have failed.. so trying again >
The W4NH Fourlanders VHF-UHF-SHF-Micro contest group will again be on the
air for the ARRL June VHF contest.
For this June contest the W4NH contesters will be operating from our
secondary contesting location in Grid EM84 north of Dahlonega, GA.
We have the usual stacked antenna arrays in the air again and equipment
ready to operate SSB, CW, FT8, MSK144, JT65, etc. on the 50-144-222-432-1296
MHz bands .
Kilowatt amplifiers on the 4 lower bands provide QRO power.
And.with all the heavy discussion at the recent VHF Super Conference about
FT8, more activity on the higher bands during contests, etc. we want to
begin attempting FT8 QSO's on something other than just 50.313 MHz !!
In that light we will looking for random or scheduled FT8 contacts on the
higher bands. Following the lead of the FLWSS we will be using 144.174,
222.174, 432.174, and even 1296.174 for FT8 operations.
We now have EME capability on the 144-222-432 bands so plan to "be on the
moon" during our moon windows.
We will be watching the Region 2 ON4KST 144, 222, 432 chat rooms and N0UK
(Ping Jockey) for schedules and spots. So if you want to schedule something
(FT8, traditional SSB/CW, or EME) on these higher bands, look for us on
these loggers.
So..get on the air and make some VHF and UHF noise in our direction this
weekend. We look forward to having you in our logs.
