<p><font face="Arial">This coming weekend (16-17 June 2018) will be
a "double-header" ham fest weekend in Michigan. <br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial"><font face="Arial">On Saturday 16 June, </font>I
will be traveling to Midland Michigan (about 65 Miles/105Km
nearly due north of my home QTH). I will depart about 0500 EDT
(0900 UTC) for this event that runs Saturday morning through
around noon local.</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial">Then on Sunday 17 June, I will be traveling to
Monroe, Michigan (about 75 miles/120KM to the southeast in far
southeastern Michigan, midway between Detroit, MI and Toledo,
Ohio. Again, I will depart around 0500 local EDT. This event,
(which is far larger than Midland since it draws from the
Detroit metro area and all of northwestern Ohio), usually breaks
up around 1400 hrs local.</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial"><br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial">On both outings, I will be running test
beacons on 60 meters APRS. As before, the setup will be:</font></p>
<ul>
<li><font face="Arial"><b>5403.50 KHz USB</b> (US 60-meter
"channel 5")</font></li>
<li><font face="Arial"><b>WA8LMF-6</b> beacon on standard <b>300-baud
AX.25</b> packet APRS on 1600/1800 Hz tones</font></li>
<li><font face="Arial"><b>WA8LMF-66</b> beacon on APRS Messenger <b>MFSK16
APRS</b> on 2100 Hz center tone.</font></li>
</ul>
<p><font face="Arial">I will have my home igate/mapping UI-Webserver
running. Goto</font></p>
