Well, I haven't been able to arrange a sked with anyone or make any contacts since building my transverter. However, my transverter seems pretty stable as I've been tuned to K1MS/B for the past two d
6M is terrible here right now with the rainy weather. Noise level is around S6 of loud crackling static with occasional peaks to S8. However, I did manage to have a nice QSO with George, W1JHR about

How pathetic: 2 QSO's x 2 Grids for a total of 4 points. BOTH of the stations I worked didn't even know there was a contest going on. Both had turned on their rigs and were surprised to see me on the
Activating FN45 would be nice but finding someplace high to setup will be difficult as the mountains to the south will cause some problems. I too have thought about making FN45 a rover stop but haven
Those of us who operated K1WHS are very pleased with the results. :-D Congrats to all of us on the team, especially Art who work his butt of on 6M. -- JT Croteau, N1ESE - Manchester, NH (FN42gx) Cont
In about a week, I'm going to be in the market for a 6M All-Mode transceiver. Anyone have anything for sale? Thanks -- JT Croteau, N1ESE _______________________________________________ VHFcontesting
