W6YX was active in the 2021 ARRL EME contest. Three stations were used, the 10 GHz with its 15’ cassegrain dish, the 1296 MHz 26’ prime focus dish, and the 144 MHz yagi station. The 432 station is under construction and we did not activate 2304 with the 26’ dish. The contest spans 3 weekends, in Oct, Nov and Dec.

To attend in-person (pedestrian):
Pedestrians may enter the Dish hiking trail at the main gate on Stanford Ave, and then walk up to the shack (see map). The gate closes to pedestrians at 7:30PM, so please plan to arrive before then.
For safety reasons, and to avoid attracting the attention of the Foothills patrol, please plan to be escorted down the trail via car after the meeting.
