[SCCC] SCCC Digest, Vol 145, Issue 16

[Drew Arnett]

Dennis, this was the first time in the last few years that we've been
participating in the VHF contest that we didn't get any sporadic E.  Still
had a lot of fun.  Not all of our regulars made it, but we had a good sized
crew and couple of new, enthusiastic guys join us.  Suprising to me was how
many 1296 contacts we got.  I expected maybe 1, but we logged 4.

Sounds like you had a great rove, Marty.

Best regards,

Drew
