[RSM] June VHF Contest--K0JP

[Jack]

Here's my little score. Not that many Qs but it was still fun.

Thanks to VE4VT for EN19 and to VA3ECO for EN29. I heard VE4DRK calling 
CQ a couple of times but could not make the QSO. Nothing heard at all on 
2-meters the few times I listened toward Winnipeg on Saturday.

73,

Jack, VE3RUA/K0JP

> Well, that was interesting. N1MM Logger says an operating time of 2:15 but that
> is wrong by a significant margin...it was more like 7 hours. Considerable time
> was spent CQing on 6-meter CW, 2-meter CW, and 2-meter FT8, with little to show
> for it, which is disappointing.

> The FT4/8 operation was not as fruitful as I'd hoped primarily because 50.313MHz

> I was surprised to work so many close-in grids, with EN19/29, EN08/18, and
> EN17/27, as well as EN35 in the log. The EN35 QSO was my sole 2-meter FT8
> contact. KA0RYT's signal peaked at -4 with my little 7-element Yagi just 10-feet

> If the pandemic situation is improved by September I hope to be operating the
> VHF contest from our VE3 QTH in Kenora, ON (EN29).
