I'm heading northeast for the upcoming contest next weekend. As usual, 6/2/432, 100/100/50 W, gain antennas. Cell service at all sites looks marginal, so I plan to send updates via Slack NMVHF when I

We're about 3 1/2 weeks out from the September contest. I'm hoping I can talk someone into visiting both DM74 & DM76 with 6M and WSJT capability (just in case..). Of course, we can work on 2, 222 & 43
