On November 5th ClayARES will be conducting its first ever 2 meter contest. We’ll make as many contacts in different zip codes as possible, with only the 2M simplex mode using 100 watts maximum! It’s a great chance to learn the USNG system, how to pass and relay information, conquer “Mic Fright”, and meet new friends.
