Comments:
Score includes three mults for activated grids plus two light contacts and
mults.
I only got out on Sunday and had some location problems that kept me from two of
the spots I hoped to rove from. The first is a very nice spot in FN33 that I've
roved from several years in a row, but it is now posted no parking. The second
was smaller and busier than I'd hoped so I had no room to set up. I skipped my
last spot and just set up in my driveway at home instead. So that all combined
to mean there was a lot more driving than operating.
I stuck to SSB (and a handful of CW) contacts. There were a couple very nice
runs on 6m Sunday afternoon that resulted in some good mults. Other than that,
activity on the higher bands was mostly non-existent for me. Some of this was
due to my poor operating locations and some was due to the lack of major
multi-op stations this time around. Some was also just due to no one being
around.
There were few random 2m contacts to be had and I never made a random contact on
1.25m or 70cm. In previous contests, tuning around on those bands always turns
something up. I was only able to run the bottom bands with N1JEZ and WB1GQR
once while out in the field. I actually had a better time running the bands
from my driveway - AF1T, K1TR, and AC1J including a few microwave contacts.
I'm hoping this is just an outlier and not an indicator of how contests are
going to continue to be. I hope to make a much more serious effort in August
and Septemeber, including with a few new bands.
