Comments:

Great contest and my best score ever. Our lunch group on Sunday grew even larger
this year with 11 stations participating. We even had a club member activate the
club callsign in the contest for the first time in well over 10 years. Things
are certainly looking up here in WNY and FM activity certainly contributed to
staying busy. I visited four grids (FN02, FN03, FN12, FN13) and made microwave
contacts to EN92, FN02, FN03, FN04, FN12, FN13, FN14, FN31, and FM19 up to
2.3GHz. Best distance is about 280 miles to K1TEO, which seems to be close to my
limit. My only 3.4G contact was with VE3ZV in EN92 which was a 100 mile path and
was an easy contact at that. So it is clear that the 3.4G gear is working, just
need a few more people with the band. No contacts at all on 10G. Luckily a club
member contributed a 5G transverter he had unused in many years and we were able
to put together a small 5G station for another local rover to use along with an
unused FT-817 and a dish feed. We were at least able to activate the grids we
visited. I wonder how much gear is out there going unused?
