Well, it seems like there is some great skip on 2m VHF this week.
I made a few contacts on a couple repeaters already. As I was listening to one after I cleared, W1IX (Columbus, OH) made contact with a VE3 station in Canada.
Here is a log of the QSO\’s I made, which have all been submitted to eqsl.cc for credit.

I hope to make more, and also hope its this great for Field Day…

Well, actually its an old tower and I moved it from its previous location in the middle of my field.
You can check out some photos of the tower, and antenna setup at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/w8jkc/archives/date-taken/2008/06/08/
The tower will be configured to host my scanner antennas, and some ham radio antennas in the near future.
Right now, I have the two MiniFlector antennas and 2 mag mount scanner antennas on it, along with a Radio Shack discone near the top.
This configuration covers 10Mhz up to 1300Mhz fairly well with extra support for Low Band VHF, and 900Mhz.
As soon as I get a dual band VHF/UHF NMO mount antenna for my truck, I will move the VHF antenna currently on it to the tower.
