*** NOTE: I recorded almost all my QSOs (missed a couple at the start). If you
want to hear your bodacious signal drop me an email at n2cu@roadrunner.com with
the specific QSO(s) wanted and I'll zip 'em up for you ***
That was fun, even with no propagation on 20m... again! After putting in 7
hours last year I vowed to give it a full-time effort this year. My wife had
other ideas ~8^( Missed the first 2.25 hours. OK, no chance to get a big score,
missing all those counties from the start, so made it a casual effort.
I've been fighting a S9 power line noise here since Fall. I decided to make a
3-element 135 MHz yagi to use with an aircraft band scanner for tracking it
down, so I took several breaks to work on that project. The antenna is made out
of 1/2" PVC with 1" tape measure elements. Folds up very nicely. Yes, I
sacrificed a brand new tape measure but it's worth it. Home Depot has Chinese
made 25' tape measures for less than $3. But I digress...
Thanks to all the mobiles that make this a great QSO party. It was non-stop
action. I even worked a mobile on 160m SSB! Love the contest format and
exchange, and hope to be back next year with some sunspots.
FT1000MP, TH6DXX 48', 40m sloper, 80m 1/2 sloper, 160m Inverted L 46', N1MM.
