[Fourlanders] Grids Worked on 222 During June 2007 Contest

[Rogers, Ron]

I have the 432 grids worked map at home in the briefcase and will bring
it to work tomorrow for conversion to PDF and then e-mail to Brian. 

Keeping grid maps up to date for 222 and 432 during the contest is a fun
way of keeping us informed of un-worked grids that are historically
possible for us to harvest. So we tend to point our antennas in those
directions later in the contest. 

On a positive note, I just received word from the guy in Wis. who had
the Icom 910H for sale. He says it's mine if I'm still interested !!
This will make a sweet tri-band package (144, 432, 1296) to substitute
for the broken Icom 475H if I don't get it back on the air before Sept.
Maybe this is a good omen.

I want to add my congratulations to all.  I am sure that this is a new
Fourlanders record from Mile High Campground.  That is especially
impresive since we had to overcome several obstacles like a blown up 432
rig and a 432 antenna that didn't want to stay on the tower!  I want to
personally thank Sherman, Kim, Paul and everyone else who helped out
with 6 meters.
Conditions on 6 were marginal through much of the contest but everyone
kept grinding away and when the band did open you worked the pileups
like HF
contest pros.   The only complaint I heard, from Sherman, was that we
need a
bigger amplifier and antennas since he couldn't always break the pileups
on the first call!  Brian, if you can get a map of the 432 grids from
Ron and make that available that would be great.  If you could do a
similar map for
2 meters I believe that would also be informative/educational.  I am
looking forward to doing it again in September.

Hello All,

I scanned in the 222 MHz grids worked map. See:

http://w4nh.org/Other/2007June222GridsWorked.pdf

Wow! To all that were on the mountain - THANK YOU! The results were
excellent. Things are really starting to click into place.

I will post more about scores and records later. Maybe Ron, WW8RR, will
scan the 432 grids and email it to me for posting on the website.
I will see what I can do in regards to making similar maps for some or
all of the other bands.

73,
Brian
