[VHFcontesting] K1DY 2M sprint

[Bill Olson]

Hi Paul, maybe you can load up a coat hanger and work me tonight? I doubt I will get your grid otherwise!

I am in a similar situation to Dave and Paul (but not as bad). The rotor is stuck SW.. That of course is the BEST place it could be stuck!! I will get on and work whomever I can. I had plans to get some QRO on here courtesy of Fred N1DPM, BUT I fell behind with other projects so it will be my 50 watts and 12 elements pointed at ~ 225 degrees.. I'll be on ON4KST from start to 9-ish when the NCAA basketball finals start..

Subject: [VHFcontesting] N1BUG NOT QRV for 2m Sprint

I am sorry to hear of the problems at K1WHS!

I am in a similar boat. 2m, 6m, HF, MF and LF antennas were all damaged
in a winter storm. I need to wait for better weather before starting on
repairs. Getting the big HF antenna down and back up is going to be a
real challenge.

I might also miss the 222 Sprint. A week ago I decided this was a good
time to tear the station apart to make some changes to the band
switching and control system, but I have been busy working on a project
for a friend. Maybe I will get stuff back together in time for 222 but I
doubt it at this point.

73,
Paul N1BUG
