[VHFcontesting] K1TEO Microwave Sprint

[WA2TEO@aol.com]

Lot's of fun while I was on in the sprint today. Good activity which made up 
for the poor condx. As has become the theme for the 2005 spring sprints the wx 
was poor with strong winds which meant keeping the towers cranked down. I 
missed some guys I heard on 144.260 as I just didn't have the time today to stay 
around and wait for them to finish up with other skeds. That's a good sign as 
it's an indication that the activity was pretty good (except for New England - 
only worked 2 other W1's!) . Missed both W4SHG and W3IY in FM08 on 5.7 ghz 
though they were both Q5 up here but weren't able to hear my 2w. Good to see 
that the mast mounted microwave stuff seems to have survived the winter.....

Tnx for the Q's and CU in June!  73, Jeff K1TEO
