Just a quick reminder, the ARRL UHF Contest is this weekend. Full
details/rules can be found here:
http://www.arrl.org/august-uhf
I should be on 432 from EM78pp for parts of Saturday if weather
cooperates (good chance of t-storms here). I might get some
operating time in on Sunday morning if the band is up.
SE USA tropo forecast looks more interesting this time around:

Plans? Well in my area UHF contesting is usually slim pickin's at
best. So no surprise that there has been very few announcements
regarding planned operations.
A couple that I'm aware of:
K2QO/R - Mark said he will be traveling up US 127 through Kentucky
and up to Van Wert Ohio this weekend. His TENTATIVE plans are to
be in SW Ohio for the start of the contest and be in Van Wert by
the end of the day. Then on Sunday he plans to be on I-90 heading
to Buffalo New York. He will be on 432 only, running 100w to 4
phased loops. Keep an ear out for him and maybe pickup a few grids!
W1RT - John mentioned he might go up to Mohawk Mountain (FN31 in CT)
on Saturday. For Sunday he was considering Mt. Greylock (FN32 in MA).
