[Fourlanders] FW: [VHFcontesting] 222 and 144 sporadic Eincontest

[Rogers, Ron]

I believe Brian will be bringing along a new equipment addition to the
Sept. contest in the form of an official large Bell (or submarine
"whoop-whoop" Klaxon horn) for situations when we work a new grid late
in the contest, have some Sporadic E harvesting, etc.

We improvised in June by banging on the dome of Brian's desk lamp !!

I mentioned it after I worked them, but I think everyone was busy doing
their own thing and maybe didn't hear me. I figured it wasn't any big
deal to the group, but I did get a kick out of working that kind of
distance on 2m. I think there were two contacts to two NM grids in what
was basically a
5 or 10 minute Es opening.

No kidding, Kos, do let us know!  Not only do we want to congratulate
you, but what you're able to do might clue some of us in to where we
might be looking on other bands.

I worked Portugal on 6M on Field Day.... you can bet everyone there
heard about it!  My first transatlantic 6m QSO!

No shit!  Kos, you worked NM on 2 Meters during the contest!  Let us
know when you do stuff like that.  That doesn't happen every day.

Look over the logs.  Kos worked NM and some other grids on 2m.  I
remember seeing them in the log and talking to him about it.  Kos, you
need to brag a bit and let the group know when you pull off a distant
grid like that on 2m.

73, Bob
