[VHFcontesting] N3FTI/R January Contest Results

[Steven Kerns]

Hello Everyone,

   Wanted to start the ball rolling with the report of
my activity this weekend.  Sorry I did not operate
from FM29, just before leaving FM19 the 2M amp ate the
antenna switching relay that selects my VHF antennas. 
Lost about 8 hrs of operating time as I returned home
and jury rigged a new relay matrix out of N-Type
transco relays.  Was back on Sunday 7:00am on Mt.
Penn.
But soon lost first my 222, then the 903 amp... But
that's another story!

I only experience one enhancement during the contest
just after sunset Sunday night when pointed toward the
northeast.  Only lasted 15 minutes or so.
