I too saw this event this morning on contestcalendar.org.
I have been working on an old F9FT 2m Tonna and have it ready to go on the
tower, probably around 48', but having trouble lining up a bucket truck for the
installation. So it is unlikely that I can get in the mix, but I might be able
to listen from my 10' test installation...
GL with the new event and glad to see that there is still interest in CW/SSB
VHF activities.

I saw that too. Someone announced the cumulative sprint here back a few
weeks ago. I was wondering if anyone in the NE would be on? I still have
yet to make a contact with my newly repaired 144 MH rotatable yagi system.
