ARRL June VHF Contest - 2008/06/13 10:48
Greetings everyone. Please note that the June VHF Contest is on this weekend, Starting at 2pm Saturday local time and continuing until 11pm Sunday.
This contest covers all bands from 50MHz up, all modes. The dominant mode is SSB but for long haul contacts we frequenctly revert to CW and there are also digital modes.
The exchange is your call sign and your 4 character Maidenhead grid square. For most of you, the grid will be either FN25 or FN15.
The main frequencies are 144.200 +/- 50KHz, 50.125 to 50.250MHz, 222.100MHz +/-, 432.100MHz +/-50KHz, 903.1MHz, 1296.1MHz
On FM you may hear activity at 146.580MHz, 446.000MHz
On D-STAR you may hear activity on the VHF digital calling channel (not the repeater).
Busiest times are Saturday from contest start until about 7pm, and Sunday morning also Sunday afternoon.
Also PLEASE NOTE a large group from the WCARC is on a grid expedition to FN04 near Coburg ON. They will very much appreciate contacts with you. They will be looking our way at 15:00hrs local on Saturday.
Every single contact is very important. Please participate.
Thanks and 73.
