Continuation of our members contest on 2m FM which hopefully will encourage those with either simple Handheld radios, Fixed, mobile or Portable stations to try contacting other members.
This event will start at 1800 and end at 2000 local time.
Contacts and exchanges should be made on the following channels only:-
145.375MHz (S15), 145.400 (S16), 145.425 (S17)
Short calls may be made on 145.500 (S20) to inform other stations that you are listening on one of the above channels. It is recommended that vertical aerials are used.
Hopefully some members may go to elevated sights to improve the distance worked and increase the chance of working members who are distributed around the local area.
Islands On The Air from 1200-1200 UTC over the weekend. The IOTA event is only available to single operators working from their home stations.
It is proposed to run the last SARS members contest from 1400 lo 1600 local time today.

Another simple contest, report is just Readability/Signal (59) plus the year in which you first received your licence. 5970 in my case. We have the IC-7300 and can run full legal power with the Henry Linear.
We can run this in parallel to the Low Power contest if there are members interested.
