http://www.arrl.org/general-rules-for-arrl-contests-above-50-mhz
For amateurs in the US and Canada (and their possessions) to work as many amateur stations in as many different 2 degrees x 1 degree Maidenhead grid squares as possible using authorized frequencies above 50 MHz. Stations outside the US & Canada (and their possessions) may only work stations in the US (and its possessions) and Canada.
The second full weekend in June. Begins 1800 UTC Saturday, runs through 0259 UTC Monday (June 9-11, 2018).
Hope for Good Opening...I will be operating, but not Contest mode per-se...
Actually hoping just to pick-up Grids never worked.
Make SURE you know your correct Grid Square before contest starts.
Don't think you need to be a BIG GUN to have fun...I chat with a VE3 many morning on 75m.
I convinced him he needed antenna on 6m. He built a SIMPLE Dipole 4' 8" long each side feed it with RG6 75 ohm Coax placed on roof about 20ft up.
He is 200 miles NW of Ontario, Canada....With 100w
FIRST Day was overjoyed to work CALIF. and Washington State!!!!
I worked an Op this morning 70 miles away 100w INDOOR ATTIC 6M LOOP...When the band is GOOD a Coat Hanger will work...!
So listen in and Enjoy, and have FUN
All the Best
