Comments:
Thanks to SPARC for another great event! Terry W8ZN and I entered the new M/M
Mobile category after re-outfitting our K8GP V/UHF contest rover for HF. We ran
a K3 with a collapsible pneumatic mast for 80-10m CW & SSB and an IC-9100
with a CB whip + various V/UHF antennas to cover 40m to 23cm. We ran completely
off batteries, a home grown 400A/hr. Lithium Ion Phosphate pack. Saturday we
started at STX & WAX then spent all day on Skyline Drive driving north and
then hit FRE, CLA & LDN by 11PM. Sunday we planned another 14 counties. We
started at PRW & FAU on Bull Run Mtn. and after a delay hit 5 more counties
along Rt 66 until we hit FCX. We skipped ARL & ALX to head south to STA to
get back on schedule, but after running into bad traffic on I-95S we ended up
stopping and ended the contest early in PRW, making a few more DX contacts on
our way back home to FAU by 4PM. It seemed like V/UHF activity was down, but 40m
rocked giving us half our QSOs. It was great to be followed by several DX
stations (DL3DXX[19], OM2VL[18], LY5W[13]) who snagged us numerous times on
80-15m CW.
