<div>Hello Tom, Where do you live? Is it near Lansing? I can try to work you
from EN66 in the UP sometime. I travel to Portland, MI from time to time to
visit my wife’s family. I also operate a beacon on 144.278 in EN66dl. 73’ and
home to stir up some activity on the vhf/ uhf bands. de N8PUM Brandon </div>

SSB and CW using a small loop antenna on the rooftop (ele is 1000' here). I plan
on stacking two loops to give me better omnidirectional gain and putting them on
my 55' tower but need to find some 1/2" Heliax for a 100' run. Since I am
currently available to use 144Mhz I was wondering id there is an "activity"
night for this band. When I have turned on the rig to 144.20-144.50 I have heard
no activity at all. Match is 1.2:1 and sometimes I can hear beacons so I know
all is working. I am running about 150w out. Located a few miles East 96 and 23
junction. Hope to hear someone soon.</span></div>

<div>Hi Dave and the group,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>At last year's meeting during Spark in the Park, 2015 I volunteered to put
together the rules for the "Golden Mitten" award. I should have something
published shortly for the club to discuss before making it official.
Someone during the meeting had mentioned an Ohio club doing something
similar. I have since contacted that club and will be using some of what
they have to adapt to our use here in MI. While they have concentrated on
2M FM only, they have had great success getting individuals and clubs involved
and activating grids.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>On a side note, I would also be interested in those amplifiers Tom and hope
you can obtain a few for club members.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>73,</div>
<div>Mike</div>

think the "Golden Mitten" award is a great idea. There should be a page
