Team Vertical is heading back to Jamaica for the WPX CW Contest. The team will arrive in Jamaica May 18, and
depart May 28. We will be active on all
bands, 6-160m. Outside the contest, the
team will operate as “homecall/6Y5”.
Contest: The contest will be held on May25-26. During the contest, we will enter the M/M
category, and signing 6Y2A. We will be
active with 6 stations on all HF contest bands, so please give us a call! We would really appreciate a low band QSO
during the contest.
Equipment: Team Vertical will have six stations,
running a KW on all bands. Four of the
transceivers will be Elecraft K2/100 rigs.
What’s a K2/100? It’s the Elecraft K2 with the 100w
amplifier! Team Vertical will be
running the K2/100’s at high duty cycles.
A performance report on the K2/100 will be sent out on the Elecraft
reflector.
Antennas: As always, we will be using Force 12
vertical antennas on 6-160m. When
