[WARC] VHF Contest articles up at www.kc9bqa.com

[Todd Sprinkmann]

     Good morning,

    The final push is underway for getting folks on for the ARRL 
June VHF QSO Party, which is next weekend, starting at 1pm Sat. 
June 13th and running until 10pm on June 14th.  

    Back in January, I wrote a series of articles called VHF 
Contesting School.  These were designed to get new and 
intermediate contesters up to speed.  

    This morning, I've updated my website http://www.kc9bqa.com 
with those articles, as well as updates of local and regional activity 
we can expect next weekend.  Please pass this info along to 
anyone who is into VHF/UHF or contest curious.  

    Of specific interest to La Crosse/Winona area hams is the 
large multi-op effort from EN34, up on Buck Hill, just SW of 
Minneapolis.  This is going to draw a lot of RF on multiple 
bands right thru your region.  May as well get on the air and 
see who you can work.  Of course, NLRS will have several 
rovers out and about, per usual.  All the grids surrounding 
the Twin Cities will be represented.  

     If you have plans to operate, I'd enjoy a personal note 
letting me know that what I'm doing makes a difference.  
Do know that I will be on lots next weekend, and looking 
your way often.  

     Also look forward to hearing from any/all of you on 
the Wed. night SSB 2 meter nets.
