The JMMFD contest is on in less than two weeks. (19 & 20 March)
As an introduction for those new to contesting I’d like to suggest a simple VHF/UHF 6 hour station at Mt Donna Buang. If there are many interested we could ad 40m HF as well.
The contest starts at 12 midday but the best time to start a 6 hour entry is 1:30 pm allowing operation across 3 of the available time blocks which means we can contact stations three times on each band and maximize our scoring opportunities.
Mt Donna Buang is a good location as the contest rewards VHF/UHF contacts over 50 km with additional points, however if coming to a hill closer to town attracts more participants then let’s do it.
Could those who are wanting to join in please let me know, on either list, by next Monday so we can finalise the location.
Cheers
Peter VK3ZPF
