Microwave Sprint Saturday

[Ray W7GLF]

There are 2 microwave contests this weekend.

The first is the 903 and up Sprint.  It runs from 8AM until 2PM local time.  I am planning to going out to several locations.  I will start in Marysville from probably 8AM to 10AM and then come down to my house from 11:30 until 2PM.

I will be listening to the microwave WHATSAPP group.  You can also text me at 425-260-5043.  From Marysville I can hit Olympics and Mt Rainier.   I will try Olympics from 8 to 9 and Rainier from 9 to 10AM.  

From my neighborhood I can hit Cascades, Mt. Rainier and Olympics.  Each one is a slightly different launch spot but they are all within CN87VR.   I am wondering - I may be able to work Carlos on 10 GHz from my back porch if I can find a hole between the trees.  I know I can work K7MDL on 2304, 5760 and I think 10 GHz from my front yard aiming at Big 4 Mountain.

The second contest is the SBMS 2304 and up contest.  I don't think there is a rule prohibiting the same contact from being used for both contests?  If there is just repeat everything twice.  This contest runs from 6 AM Saturday morning until Sunday midnight but participants are only allowed to run for 12 hours within that block.

I will monitor 144.200 as well but not planning on taking my 2 meter beam - so only for close in contacts.
