Comments:

This was my first single-op effort since relocating to the Northern Neck area of
Virginia (FM17uu). I certainly don’t have the station setup that I had in
Richmond, VA, but with retirement you don’t need to be climbing high towers
and dealing with large arrays! Hopefully, I’ll be able to make some
adjustments to the antennas and add some type of capability for 1296MHz for the
June contest. 

The 6-meter conditions here varied from really good to not so good, but in
general, for a January VHF contest; I thought the 6-meter band was the place to
be.  There didn’t seem to be a lot of activity on 2-meters and above, but with
the states north of us and even as close as the Washington, DC area battling ice
on their antennas, I wasn’t too surprised. I heard a number of stations
complaining about high SWR and/or the inability to rotate their antennas.
