[UK-CONTEST] VHF NFD

[Callum M0MCX]

Great results Bob, what gear were you using..?

(Woops, I'm getting excited about a 25w vertical contest!)

I have a wonderful proof, but this sig block is too small to hold it.

I have been reading the reflector about VHF Field day and yes the QSO's were
certainly down this year. The weather certainly didn't help. We were
operating as MM0CPS/P from IO84BT so many thanks to all of those who worked
us on 4M, 6M, 2M and 70cms.
We ended up with (non-submitted) totals:

BAND   QSO DUP 
----------------------
   50   133   2  
   70    68   0  
  144   213   2  
  432    65   0  

I like the idea of a contest using a vertical as getting a beam up here at
home is an absolute no-no and at least I could come on and have ago in a
relatively equal playing field. I must admit from my home location right on
the waters edge of the Firth of Forth doesn't offer me a good take off to
south due a steep rising hill but to the north well there is nothing in
front of me.

Regards,
