Mount Greylock Expeditionairy Farce unofficial report

	Well, after an excellent effort on our part this weekend from
Mt. Greylock in Mass., it appears that we won the September VHF
contest.  I don't have the specific numbers, but I believe our score
was about 0.75 million (band conditions were lousy) with our closest
competition, W3ZZ, at 0.68 million.

	For those who don't know about what we do in a vhf contest,
ask me some time :).  Here is the summary of what we run for equipment
and approximate power levels:

	50 Mhz :  "Kilowatt and four yagis"
	144 Mhz : "1.5 Kilowatts and four yagis"
	220 Mhz : "1.5 Kilowatts and four yagis"
	432 Mhz : "Kilowatt and four yagis"
	903 Mhz : "300 W and a 6 foot dish"
	1296 Mhz: "100 W and a 6 foot dish"
	2304 Mhz: "25 W (?) and a 6 foot dish"
	3456 Mhz: "25 W (?) and a 6 foot dish"
	5760 Mhz: "5 W (?) and a 6 foot dish"
	10368 Mhz: "50 W and a 6 foot dish, 100 mW and a 3 foot dish (FM)"
	24xxx MHZ: "50 mW and a 2 foot dish (FM)"

	all this stuff gets put on 9 40-50 foot towers that get put up
and taken down over a 4 day period!  See the home page done by Joel
for a color GIF of the operation.

	Sound interesting?  Get involved !
