Great to see all the VHF contest activity here on the reflector. Appears
that the solar minimum is encouraging some HF types to try a new form of
contesting. I really enjoy VHF -- I just don't want to invest in another
6 bands! Plus I don't really have the technical expertise to handle
those Microwaves...
I enjoyed the VHF contest from home. I use an 18 year old KLM Multi-2000
all mode rig which is tuned for the high end of 2m. It is deaf at 144
Mhz. An 80W brick really puts me in the high power category.
No 2m horizontal antennas, so I started experimenting. Discovered that
my Cushcraft 40-2CD 2-ele 40m beam is my best performer! Actually has
some pattern. Peaks appear to be at 40 degrees from the pointed
direction. The peaks are sharp as I could hear stations come up and
down many many S-units as I turned it.
Now for the score. In about 4 hours of on and off operation, I managed a
new personal best of 53 QSOs and 11 grids. Score of 583 points. But I
had lots of fun. Always a challenge to tune the band and try to find a
new station and then try to get him to hear me.
K3YTL had a great signal, but my best DX was KZ2S in FN20. K2GAL in FM29
got a partial on my call during a short tropo opening Sat evening, but
couldn't get it all (he was running pretty fast).
VHF contesting with a poor set-up reminds me of when I first started out
in radio and contesting. It is really fun to overcome obstacles, learn
new things, and just experiment! Things that have been lost or become
jaded after years of serious competitive HF radio. If you are suffering
from burn-out, try something new. VHF doesn't have much static...
