So if any of you would like to try and get a VUCC award on that band you may want to start building! Remember, you only need to work five grid squares for VUCC on 3456 or any of the bands above that.</span><div dir="ltr"><br><div dir="ltr"><span>I don't currently have a working station for 3456, but still have the parts from my old station that I did get VUCC with many years ago, and I could put it back on the air at least as a portable station. I may even have enough parts laying around to build another QRP station for the band. I believe there are at least a couple of other people around here with working stations on that band.</span><div dir="ltr"><br><div dir="ltr"><span>I've talked to Bob WA8VPD about trying to get a VUCC award on 5760, and he seems to think we could do that from "garbage pit hill" (Lyon Township Park, now called </span><span><span>James F. Atchison Memorial Park,</span></span><span> </span><span><span>EN82EM, just off I-96). So one of my goals for this winter is to get a station working on 5760 MHz so I'm ready in the spring to give it a try. If anybody wanted to try for VUCC on 3456 we could try that band at the same time.</span></span><div dir="ltr"><span><br></span><div dir="ltr"><span><span>So anybody interested in either band?</span></span><div dir="ltr"><span><br></span><div dir="ltr"><span><span>73, </span></span><div dir="ltr"><span><span>Mark WB8TGY </span></span><div dir="ltr"><span><br></span><div dir="ltr"><span><br></span><div dir="ltr"><span><br></span><span>_______________________________________________</span><br><span>MiVUS mailing list</span><br><a href="mailto:MiVUS@mivus.org" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span>MiVUS@mivus.org</span></a><br><span>subscribe/unsubscribe </span><a href="http://mail.mivus.org/mailman/listinfo/mivus_mivus.org" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span>http://mail.mivus.org/mailman/listinfo/mivus_mivus.org</span></a><br></body></html>
