Comments:
This was my first real attempt as a Rover with more than 2 grids. Started off in
DM12 at the La Jolla Glider Port, was happy with the activity down there but ran
into a problem on 6 meters - high SWR - could not sort it out in the field so no
6m from DM12. Luckily was heading past my house at the next stop. Took a detour
to home and replaced the whole coax run to my 6 meter Moxon - problem solved.
Learned later it was the bandpass filter - it went bad when power was applied.
After a lunch break headed up the hill to Coastal Peak Park in DM13 and spent
the rest of Saturday there. Good activity and started to fill the log.
Sunday saw DM03 at Signal Hill for a nice start to the day with a good number of
contacts. First trip to DM04 and DM14 afterwards. Both the afternoon grids were
“ok” but I definitely need to scout for some better spots for the next
attempt.
Finally came back to DM13 to finish out the contest picking up some new contacts
that were not around on Saturday as well as a nice opening on 6m at the very end
for some Texas and Oklahoma contacts. All in all a fun weekend.
