[VHFcontesting] [NEWSVHF] 222 Activity Night N2SLO FN30JU

[Alex]

I CQed (SSB) for 20 mins from 7:15-7:35 turning my beam in increments of 15 degrees. Zero takers. That was on .100 and moved up a little when others came on. Like I wrote the other week. I hear folks, they don't hear me. Yes, I did check to make sure I was producing sufficient RF. :) Never have a problem working anyone during a contest. Go figure.   I did not use the chat page.
