[VHFcontesting] Microwave Sprint

[Steve Tripp (K1IIG)]

Fun contest regardless of flat bands. Interesting how all seemed to share 
one liaison frequency on 2meters without a bit of hassle here in the 
Northeast, patient bunch of operators.

I had 21 q's and 14 grids on bottom 3 bands.

Best contacts were 1296 FM18 (306mi) , 2304 FN21 (157mi) and on903 I managed 
to work 5 locals with all the cellsite RFI. I have (4) TX/RX cascaded 
filters helping a bit but at the expense of 4-5db RX loss on 903. Mast 
mounted preamps in the future for 1.2 and 2304..

Thanks to our sponsors and cu on 6m.
