Another great contest from the VP9GE QTH in Hamilton Parish. I worked
48 stations on 6 bands:
AA1QD K2RD K8CC N0IJ W0AIH W2VJN
K0RF K2UA K8GL N3RS W1HR W3LPL
K1DG K3LR K8LX N4RV W1WAI W3PP
K1IR K4GKD K9NS N4TO W1WEF W5KFT
K1KI K4JA KC1XX N4TZ W1ZK W7/DL3OI
K1PT K4NNN KF2O N6RFM W2FU W9RE
K1RX K5GO KQ3F N8AA W2RE WO4O
K1TTT K8AZ N0DY VE5ZX W2UP WT1T
Highlights:
The results on 160 working to the west coast with a simple antenna.
A vertical rules if you are near salt water!
Lowlights:
Too close to the east coast on ten meters resulting in a low qso count
on that band.
Very slow rate when Europe is open to W/VE.
Great contest. My entire station weighs about 65 pounds. I can get
that weight down even more by using an IC706, but the TS930S is still
a better radio.
