Comments:
Elecraft K2 to 88 ft. doublet up 25 ft. Operated outdoors in 30 F
temperatures from
the 'North Woods' of the western UP (21F and heavy frost at sunrise ...
either it was late winter
or next winter!). Beautiful predawn aurora curtains signaled
propagation troubles for the test.
Forty meters was the workhorse band, and nothing was heard above 20
mtrs. SSB QSOs
were difficult to make as was picking up western states and provinces
for multipliers. Benefitted
greatly from the good 'ears' of the mobilers as they went from county-to
county. What would this
and most other contests be without the many excellent CW operators?
Thanks for the fun and the
Michigan geography lesson!
