Ditto to what Dave, K1WHS reported about our attempt and final qso completion. K9MRI, EN70 and K8ZR, EN91 were both stronger than usual. WA3NUF and WZ1V came thru in normal fashion. However, no joy,
Hey Dave, You most likely drove right past my QTH in FM09jo when you visited Terry; stop by the next time. I'm 500 feet higher than he is. Hope those Larcans get coupled with good receiving systems.
A few days late with this. I have two TT rotors, one at 80 feet with 144-1296 Yagis plus hi-vhf and uhf TV antennas on it, the other with a Tri-bander and 6m yagi at 40 feet (see my QRZ page). I clim
The highlights of the evening were N1BUG, FN55 at 650+ miles, VE2XX up in FN25 and K1ZK near Burlington, VT (almost Canada). Been trying but hadn't worked any of them before. Unfortunately, no joy ag
Won't be on from FM09 Tuesday night. But did work W1AIM and AF1T on 2m FM simplex from Mt. Washington, NH plus Keene and Mt. Major, NH, and Whiteface Mtn, NY. DX with a 5w HT and rubber duck antenna
The QSB peaks don't seem to be as severe over "some" long paths. I seem to be able to work K1WHS at 500 miles any Tuesday evening with little trouble. Maybe it's because our signals are skimming the

Above freezing now. Won't be on until after around 8:30 local tonight. WA3EOQ _______________________________________________ VHFcontesting mailing list VHFcontesting@contesting.com http://lists.cont
Ah, the LCR NIL problem raises its ugly head. I quit looking at it because: Some years ago I worked a station on 1296 around 200 miles out. Shortly thereafter, I received a QSL asking to confirm the
Worked ten stations last evening. All but one (K3SK) were over 200 miles away. Interesting that K3SK had the deepest QSB taking him into the noise from arm chair copy. The more distant stations had l
Hi Mike, I wouldn't try that. I purchased a 736 way back when they first came out around 1985 and had the same idea. I was going to switch between two modules; however, I was informed that when the r

That can't be any worse than what York County, ME did to Mt. Agamenticus. W1DC/1 from the top of that mountain (1200 Radio Club out of Waltham, MA) was my first 2m Maine contact back in 1970 using a
Ref: N1BUG's comments. Virtually all of my Tuesday evening contacts are here on 222 (or even 2m weak signal); none locally. If K1WHS or WZ1V would delete all stations within 200 miles on their weekly
