Comments:
Bands were pretty dead Saturday, with only 3 sporadic E contacts. We did find a
great site for troposcatter QSOes in AZ, Blue Vista on Hwy 191. We overnighted
with N2IC in Silver City and headed out in the morning to Emory Pass, DM62.
After a half hour of working El Paso, Las Cruces and Alamogordo hams, the band
opened with Sporadic E to the midwest and egg south east and we worked that for
an hour and a half until we decided that we needed to move on. The opening
continued while we were in motion, while we stopped in DM64, moved on two DM63,
where we ended the contest. The band was in with Sporadic E nearly all of that
time, to the midwest, south, south east and northwest.
The gear in clouded a K-2, DEMI transverter, and TE systems 300W amplifier for
each band. The 6M antenna is a Moxon at 13 feet and a W7QQ 8ft boom Yagi for 2M
at 12 feet. One of the highlights of the trip was working K2CEI on one of his
transporters. We also took that 13 ft high Moxon through a 12 ft 7 in tunnel, a
12 ft 6 in bridge, and a 12 ft bridge.
We doubled our score from last year, so we are pretty happy. And tired.
