For those with 6 meter and up SSB capability, activating on June 13 and 14 could have an extra fun factor – the ARRL June VHF Contest. There will be bunches of folks delighted to work you on 50.125 and 144.200 MHz SSB, other bands too if you have the gear. There is a bit of activity on 2 meter FM; but use of 146.52 isn’t allowed so look for folks on 146.55 or 146.58. VHF contests are a great time to activate a summit where you don’t want to carry or deploy up an HF antenna. See the rules at www.arrl.org/june-vhf and consider participating AND entering a log for the contest.
