1296:  4 QSOs x 1 grid


I only have 1296 and it wasn't all cabled up by
Saturday morning.  With all the typical Saturday
morning activities it took me until 10:30am local time
to get it up and running.  2m wasn't hooked up either,
so I just called CQ and monitored 1296.1 -- not very
optimal.

Things were looking bleak until I heard a pair of
locals making an exchange.  I was lucky and was able
to connect with both of them and two others.  All were
in EN82.

The 1296 setup is 10w to a 25el loop yagi at 73ft, no
preamp, good feedline.

73,

Ron (W8RU).
