Comments:
Conditions were typical September, generally flat, unlike the last few weeks of
enhanced conditions. I can only imagine the excitement of those band openings
during a contest. 6 meters was a test of patience, lots of 1 and done. Copied a
few South America stations on Sunday and of course I got sucked into chasing
that like a bug to a light bulb. No SA stations worked!
The good: The RVHFG is continuing to promote getting on more bands. Loaner
equipment is available along with help with integration. Just ask if you need
help. Rovers rock, I know I say this all the time. I’ve done it at a high
level and it is hard work. These folks keep things interesting when it’s gets
dull. Major kudos to them.
The Bad: Missing the first 3 hours hurt my score some. I took a 3 hour break on
Sunday also. Balance of home life is essential, my wife is extremely supportive
of this contesting non sense so I choose my battles wisely. 2304 got water in
the feed line again, in June I was up the tower contest morning, not this time,
it was raining and I wasn’t feeling it so we suffered through high swr and
worked what we could.
Next: Moving 2304 and 3400 up on the tower before January contest. N1MM learning
and station integration with Green Heron must get completed. Encourage a few
more locals to get on the microwaves! Get the K1WHS 222 amp online and whatever
else I break before January.
The Fun: Random q’s on 10ghz rock, fyi, it is the new 6 meters right?
