Comments:

Spent several days in the cold before the contest to Find, Fix, 
and Refurbish the 144 and 432 yagis back to their former glory. 
The 2M yagi is now 16 elements on a 30ft boom, the 432 yagi is 
now 22 elements on a 6WL boom. Finished installing the 432 
feedline in 38 degree temperatures with 40+ MPH gusts. One last 
effort to truss the 2M yagi and then raise them to full height 
of the tower trailer in the stunning Nevada Sunset. Testing the 
SWR of all 3 antennas showed them to be perfect. Starting the 
contest 30 Minutes late wasn't too bad considering 144 and 432 
had no antennas ready Wednesday evening. The restored full length 
yagis played like gangbusters making getting the attention of 
folks on the other side of the Sierras a whole lot easier. I also 
scrounged up a 30ft run of 1/2" Heliax for 432 which helped alot 
as I had no working preamp available. Not a hint of Es, The 
Rocks were very sparse all weekend making it very hard to Utilize 
MSK144 MS on 6M. Still was nice to bump into everyone again in 
between bouncing back and forth between NAQP SSB and this 
contest. Here's to a quick return to Spring time! The station 
consisted of an IC746 (6/2) and a IC706mkIIg (432) each running 
barefoot (80W 6/2 and 45W 432). 73s de Tim - K7XC - DM09jh... sk
