[LCC] The CQ WW VHF Contest....

[Marshall-K5QE]

Hello to everyone.....

I have two things....

1)Next weekend is the CQ WW VHF contest...1PM Sat to 4PM Sunday. This 
contest is 6M and 2M only, so it is an easy contest to run. IF we get 
some decent propagation on 6M, it can be like 20M, and some really good 
runs can occur.  I would think that any LA station that put in a good 
effort might well win for LA.  Ted-KN5O has a good 6M station(I am not 
sure what he has for 2M), so a club effort from his station might put 
another win in the LCC ledgers....notice how handily I "volunteered" his 
station....sorry about that Ted.  Right now, it does not look like Ted 
has anything for 2M.....we are going to have to do something about 
that.....HI.

I would really appreciate everyone in LCC giving me a contact on 6M and 
2M too(if possible).  If you don't have an antenna for 6M, just run it 
into your 75M dipole, we will still work you.  All contacts gratefully 
appreciated.  We normally hang out at 50.133MHz or 50.125MHz on 6M and 
144.200MHz for 2M.

2)In the list of members, my old email is still listed.  That email is 
long gone......my current email is k5qe at k5qe.com.  TO: whoever keeps the 
member list:  please make that change.  Thanks.

Obviously, I cannot attend the club meeting in Slidell, but I wish 
everyone the best....

Your VHF contesting member....
