[VHFcontesting] Phoenix Persceptive (DM33)

[Jim N7TCF]

The competition was fierce Saturday as we fought beam to beam for the 
WAL Award (Worked All Locals).

Later 6m opened and some joy was found.

Thanks to K6DYD,KI6CQ, W6LQR, K6VCR and KG6IYN, we worked scatter on 6 & 
2 into southern California.

6m Es to Montana and the Dakotas was strong and long-lasting. Very good 
for those fellows. Slim pickings on this end.

6m opened to Mexico briefly, but only two stations were heard, XE2HWB 
and XE1AY.

I learned that a M^2 2m12 works acceptably on 432, out to 60 miles. 
Beyond that I found using the real 432 beam was much better.
