Comments:
Hello all! Worked this contest off and on both nights, was busy building and
troubleshooting my first home brew 2 meter yagi. The band seemed awful noisy
but despite that and my low antenna, (the vertical portion of my inverted L is
only about 30 feet)I was able to make some pretty easy contacts up and down the
East coast and out to the mid-West. I was surprised that I was able to able to
work a couple EU stations considering that my antenna is oriented North and
South. Best DX for me was EI7M in Ireland (3789 miles), 2nd best was CT3DL in
Madeira Island (3617 miles). Worked Steve AA4V who was busy racking up the
points with his very own pileup and sounded great at my QTH but heard no other
club members. All said and done, I really enjoyed working the contest this
year, really nice that for once, Murphy did not mess with me, rig,logging
program and antenna worked well.
Cheers and 73,
Frank KG4IGC
