[SCCC] N6MI June VHF (Alvord Mountain)

[J. Scott Bovitz <bovitz@bovitz.com>]

In the June VHF contest, N6MI (Scott) and K6VCR (Tom) went portable as "N6MI" from the Mojave Desert (near Fort Irwin, California) to hand out a few rare DM15 contacts. We operated from a converted news van (n6mi.com). We ran 500 watts (or less) on six meters to a five element yagi at 60 feet. We ran 100 watts on two meters for a handful of contacts. Before log checking, we worked 11 CW, 49 USB, and 156 FT8 contacts on six meters -- 123 grids with contacts in the continental United States, Hawaii, Mexico, Canada, Ireland, Switzerland, and France. Six meters was booming on Sunday morning, but we packed up after the weather turned to hail and thunderstorms. Thanks for the contacts.
