This was my first serious effort in a VHF contest.  Worked several stations
on all three bands I ran.
My first effort on 70cm.  I had just installed a new set of 432 phased loop
antennas Saturday morning.  Only had Sunday afternoon to work in contest.
2M was my best band.  On 70 cm I was running only 5 watts using a Yeasu
FT-817.  Definitely need more power on 70cm. Pleased with the result
overall.
