Comments:
The "hollerin' hillbilly" WK4P operated the January VHF contest from my home
here in the NW corner of NC. Activity seemed down a bit this year. While my
score was up my qsos on the bands I made little improvement to over the past
year were down.
Sunday I received a call from the Blacksburg VA NWS office asking me, the Ashe
County EC, to start the SKYWARN net. So in the middle of a contest running a
SKYWARN net. Then my 2, 220, and 440 beams became cover with ice. We had
.25 inches on the trees at ground level so I hate to think how much ice was on
the metal antennas at 50 feet. All I know is they didn't work to good after
the ice formed.
Really enjoyed trying to work K8TQK and WZ8D in EM89 toward the end of the
contest. At least a little BB gun station can get out if propagation is
right.
I had fun, learned a lot, and got to show contesting to some new hams, what
more could one hope for in a contest.
Peace and 73
WK4P in Beaver Creek.
