Comments:
Before this years contest I stripped all of the antennas off of my vhf/uhf tower
and rebuilt the antenna system. I needed to replace some broken antennas and
add some new bands. All of the antennas worked well. And it was great to get
on some new bands. For the first time in several years WM5R was in town for the
contest so he came out and we did a two op multiop. WM5R did all of the 6 meter
operating and I did all the high bands. It was cool to finally make some
contest contacts (and my first contacts) on 10GHz.
Conditions were nothing special on any of the bands. I did get to hear some
rain scatter most of the day on Sunday but it was only listening to the local
beacon - but still cool.
N5RZ was out as a rover and provided us with many great grids to the west that
we normally never work - and many contacts and mults on the high bands.
Looking forward to next year and getting on 902 SSB/CW with 200+ watts. I also
hope to get the 432 and 222 higher power amps working correctly as well.
Thanks for all the contacts.
