 Remember this weekend is the Jamboree On The Air http://www.arrl.org/scouts/jota/. Scout groups around the world will be looking for contacts all weekend. Please get on and say hi to some scouts, it's a great way to show kids how ham radio works.
I will be with NE1C which will be set up in the Rice Wildlife Sanctuary in Peru, Ma just for the day on Saturday. There may be some operation from my home station Friday night just to get warmed up. But during the day Saturday we will be on HF, VHF, and probably IRLP node 7270 which will be set up at my station temporarily Friday night through Saturday.
I would expect most of the local activity will be on 20m and 40m and maybe higher bands during the day if they open up a bit for dx. We will likely be checking in periodically on 146.91 to show how HT's and VHF repeaters work.
