Comments:
There was a lot of activity in NM for this contest, which is a big change from
years past when it was difficult to get anyone on. One year I roved and didn't
work anyone! Thanks to W0VOA/r who came down from Colorado to rove with K2DRH
and K9PW, who came for the Central States VHF Society Conference and stayed
for the inaugural 222MHz and Up Distance Contest. There were a lot of fixed
stations on as well. There was also a lot of microwave activity, thanks to W7QQ
and K9PW, which has been a rarity in past contests. I had 222.1 to 3456 and
10gHz, but the 2304 rig did not work and between the low power and high
mountains, I did network anyone on 3456. I managed 4 QSOes on 10GHz, which was
really quite nice.
I liked the new distance scoring format. Exchanging 6-gridsquares was a bit
challenging at times, but the challenge was worth it. The team aspect was nice
as well and it will be nice to see how that works out.
