[VHFcontesting] 432 sprint

[Michael Drake]

Activated two grids as a Rover: FN12XV and FN22DW, conditions seemed poor however still had fun, ended up with only 8 Q's and 6 grids. My total unofficial score would be 1164 base on distance using KM. The equipment: Homemade drive on mast mount with rotor and pole at 16 feet, Kenwood TS-2000 with 50 watts output, Directive systems DSFO432-15RS and a M2 432-12 EME (back-up antenna).  Had a lot of fun, last contact of the night was the best- WZ1V in FN31MP. See you on May 8th for the 50 Mhz sprint! Mike KC2PLJ

Poor 432 condx, rain, wind and cold. Missed many nearby grids. Just 
42 QSO's in 15 grids. Best DX VE3ZV EN92, K8TVD EN91 and K4ZOO FM08. 
Equip here 500W to 24 el @ 63' on 950' hill. Thanks to all who were 
QRV and the event sponsors.
73, Ron WZ1V FN31mp
