Comments:
A mix of FM, SSB, and CW with no digital for this contest. My first time using
FM on this band.
I heard a lot of local stations but 50W on SSB and on FM did not cut it.
Seemed to be a lot of one-way propagation which was very frustrating.
A couple of strong local stations kept hopping around the band which caused
interference to the weaker stations I was trying to work.
Best dx was N2SLN/2 in FN22. Heard K1WHS in FN43 on CW but could not get his
attention.
Looks like I need to add some vertically polarized yagis plus get more power
on transmit.
Nice to hear activity on this band.
