Comments:
Despite high expectations, the shack and antennas at my new Tennessee QTH were
not ready for this contest. I revived an ancient FT726R to operate on 6 meters
with an omni-directional PAR OA50 loop on a push-up pole. On 2 meters an FT857D
and OA144 snagged a few QSOs. The SCU-17 digital interface for the FT857D did
not work, so FT8 was not possible. I operated old school SSB and CW, with a few
local FM QSOs for some extra points. Even with just the low omni antenna on 6
meters I was able to work most of the SSB stations that were heard. The
sporadic-E propagation up toward New England was pretty consistent, but I never
was able to attract any attention with my CQs. I also had a 6 meter vertical
antenna tuned for 52 MHz in hopes of working some FM stations there, but I heard
no activity. All in all, the June VHF contest is still my favorite contest.
