Comments:
There was excellent propagation and good participation in the Pacific Northwest.
I roved the CN87/CN97/CN86/CN96 intersection.
I was running my regular rover with 170w on SSB/CW and 50W on FM. Antennas
were a 4 el "cheap yagi" at about 8' plus a 4 el vertical yagi at 4'
on front of the truck (rotatable in motion) and a 8 el "cheap yagi"
on the rear that could be extended to 25'.
Bad traffic delayed my first stop on a forest service road in CN97, but I
worked a bunch of folks in CN87 en route. Unfortunately, I caught a
low-hanging branch in my rush and snapped the boom for the 8 el yagi. Stuff
happens. I did the entire contest with the front yagi, but the propagation was
so good that I did nearly as well this year as last year.
