Comments:
I operated for 2.2 hours from DM04qb at 2400 ft in the Santa Monica Mts.
Conditions were lackluster with winds until 8:30pm. More than 50% of stations
worked were on 446.0MHz FM Simplex, and several were using handheld transceivers
at distances almost 50 miles from me. I worked only 4 grids & heard CM97.
Stats: 4Q DM03; 8Q DM04; 6Q DM13; & 1Q DM14; Best DX: 181.3km; Total
Distance: 1337km. Because I had a coax cable problem, I was unable to run my
planned 100 watts + preamp, so I only had barefoot FT-736 & 1 long M>2
yagi in use. There was intermittent loud (400 khz + wide!) non ham QRM with
multiple tones heard on 432.1 MHz: this was also heard by other SoCal stations.
Winter is coming: After 9pm, I had to put on a jacket. I plan to operate in
Saturday’s Microwave SPRINT too.
