Hello to everyone in the EME community.  This year, the ARRL January VHF Contest will be held Jan 18th and 19th.  We want to work as many EME stations on 2M and 432 as we can to increase our grid count.  Please help us with this event by working us on JT65b or CW.  Thank you very much.  

The 2M EME station is 8 x 18 all H-pol with a full 1500W of output power and a tower mounted preamp.  We can and do work smaller stations all the time, so give us a try.

As usual, we will be operating 144.142MHz Second Sequence. The contest starts at 1900Z on Saturday, but but our moonrise is 0215Z on Sunday.  This is perfect for us because we can run EME all night long without interfering with our tropo operations.  Our moonset is at 1450Z.  For the last few hours of our moon time, we will be looking specifically for US, JA, VK, and ZL stations, so if you are in Oceania, look for us then.

Because we are a Multi-Multi station, we will be watching the N0UK EME reflector.  Because of the ARRL's rules, we can not post on the reflector. If you see us, please spot us on the N0UK reflector along with our frequency.  If you are not in the contest, you can post freely to the reflectors.  So, you can talk to us, we just can't talk back.  If you don’t see us on 144.142MHz, please check back later because we may just be doing a bit of Search & Pounce or working a local station on tropo.

We also have a good 432 EME station.  The TX power is 1KW and the antenna is 16 x 28el M2 all H-pol.  This antenna works very well.  So, if you have anything on 432, look for us on 432.070MHz.  IF Faraday is not bad, we have a good chance to work you.  We will take the Second Sequence and we will call CQ whenever we can.  If you can, please try to work us on 432.  IF we hear a CW caller on 2M OR 432, we will switch to CW and make every effort to work you.  

Good luck to all in the contest and we hope to see you there.  Thank you.
