I?m limited to 10w output on both 6 and 2m. I get two points per qso on 2m, 1 point per qso on 6m, and grids are multipliers. I?ll take all the qsos I can get! The contest starts Saturday, July 18, at 1800UTC, and ends Sunday the 19th at 2100UTC. My plan is roughly as follows: 2m: 7 element innovantenna at 20? I?ll mostly be using ft8 on 144.174, calling 1st sequence. The sequence may change, as I think I?ll be doing more search and pounce than CQing. Every so often I?ll switch over to 144.100 to call and check for ssb signals. I did not bring a cw key, but I am going to try out some software to send cw in case someone wants to try. If nothing else I can whistle into the mic ? We can?t use the FM calling frequency during the contest, nor repeaters. But, I?ll be monitoring 146.55 for local contacts, so if you have time and can?t try one of the other modes, give me a call on .55! 6m: M2 6m3ss at 25? Basically the same as 2m, mostly ft8 on 50.313, occasionally checking 50.125 and the ssb band for signals. I?ll try some msk144 for scatter contacts, but I don?t have much hope there with only 10w. Only one signal is allowed on the air from my station at a time, so if you call me and I don?t answer right away, give me a minute as I may be trying to complete a qso on another band. You can see the rules for the contest at https://cqww-vhf.com/rules.htm . - Matthew nj4y -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I recently moved to Polk City and am interested in the club but with the current situation have not been able to attend any meetings. I moved here from the Aiken, SC area where I was an active member of the club and county ARES. I have been a Ham since 1961 but still struggle with CW even though I have had Extra Class license from back when 20 WPM was required. I am a Life Member of ARRL. In my current QTH I am very antenna restricted with the HOA so it is a good thing I got 5BDXCC at my prior QTH. While DX is my favorite activity I will be working on another WAS from this QTH where I won?t have the good antennas and amplifier I used elsewhere. I dabble in contests although my CW skills are limited. I operated for awhile in the recent Field Day and even with having just an end-fed halfwave up over a tree I made 250 CW QSOs to 41 states. So lets see if this works. 73, Jerry K7UPJ From ab4ka at protonmail.com Sat Jul 18 09:22:01 2020 From: ab4ka at protonmail.com (Jimmy Russ) Date: Sat, 18 Jul 2020 16:22:01 +0000 Subject: [LARC-CQ] Test and Intro In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Hello, Jerry! Welcome to the area and to LARC. Due to current events we haven't had an "in person" meeting in a few months, but this past Monday we had a virtual meeting via Zoom and it went really well. Keep an eye on your email and the LARC blog https://blog.lakelandarc.org/ for updates. Hopefully we'll be meeting together soon. In case you haven't found it yet, our club repeater is on 146.685 (-600, PL 127.3) and there's almost always someone listening. In addition, a few of us gather at Fred's Market on Harden Blvd on Friday mornings around 8am for an informal breakfast. It's always a good time. Lastly, if you happen to be on Facebook, look up the Lakeland Amateur Radio Club. There are two pages, one is the official club page and the other is a group page to which anyone can post. Again, welcome. I look forward to meeting you and to hearing you on the air. 73, Jimmy Russ AB4KA Sent with ProtonMail Secure Email. ??????? Original Message ???????
