The Satellite Amateur Radio Club station, W6AB, plans to operate this June's ARRL VHF contest from CM94. We are hoping to end W6AB's VHF Contest 35 year old drought by placing high in the scoring for Santa Barbara Section and adding an award to the clubhouse wall. The last VHF award was issued to W6AB back in 1974.
W6AB will use the following station equipment: 50MHz, 150W, 5el yagi 144MHz 1500W, 2x17 yagis, full Az/Ele 432MHz, 100W, 18el yagi 220MHz, 25W, 4el yagi 903MHz, 180W, 17el yagi 1296MHz, 180W, 22el yagiW6AB will also listen on 145.000FM simplex for stations that don't have multimode radios.
Operations will start at 11:00PDT (1800UTC) on June 13 and end around 14:00PDT(2100UTC) on Sunday June 14.
144MHz EME will start Sunday morning at 00:30PDT (07:30UTC).W6AB's contest station will have the capability to operate in WSJT JT65B mode on 144MHz, 432MHz and 1296MHz. So, if you are in need of grid CM94 and have had difficulty QSO'ing with CW and SSB, please schedule a WSJT contact.
Hope to hear you all on the air this coming weekend... 73 John N6VMO W6AB Station Operator _______________________________________________ You have received this because you are subscribed to the Satellite Amateur Radio Club Members Mailing List To post on the mailing list, simply send email to sarcmembers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx This mailing list will only accept email from subscribed members so SPAMMERS will not get your email address To unsubscribe, send an email to sarcmembers-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field OR by logging into the Web interface at: //www.freelists.org/cgi-bin/lsg2.cgi
