[bars] Winter Field Day 6 Bands

I am going to make a stab at Winter Field Day tomorrow.  My friend Jim
(some of you may remember from field day) is going to do it with me.  We
will be operating out of my parents-in-law's house in Bedford.  We are
going to make an attempt to claim the 6 Bands multiplier.  I don't have an
antenna for 160 and 80, and 60, 30, 17 and 12 are not allowed.  I need 3
contacts on each band, and I believe they have to be WFD stations.  I
should have no problem with getting four bands out of 40, 20, 15 and 10.
So, my only chance is VHF and UHF.  I only have handheld 5W radios in those
bands.  No repeaters allowed. I thought I would periodically call out on
the simplex calling freqs to see if anyone else is in my predicament.

It occurs to me that there might be others on this list with a similar
challenge.  Anyone out there within range of 5W simplex UHF/VHF to Bedford
doing Winter Field Day?

You can use repeaters to arrange a call, so I will also try a shout on W1DC
and WB1GOF.
