[Fourlanders] January Contest Summary for WB8LYJ/R

[Jeff Townsend]

Hi All.

My first stop at the start of the contest was very windy.
I had to keep the antennas low.
6m is on it’s own mast and I had no way to lock it in position.
I also had SWR issues on 2m and 432. 

Saturday night got cold. There was a very thin coat of ice on my masts when I took down in EM72 and again when I set up Sunday morning in EM82.
Setup Sunday required a few retreats to the Jeep to warm up.

I should have been on 6m more. I was having issues with 6m RF getting into my 2m amp even when the 2m amp was in use.
That is something that I need to address before the next contest along with a system to lock the 6m antenna direction.
