Comments:
K2ZR and I planned a 12 county rove starting in Herkimer Co. at the QTH of the
Cold Brook Contest Club. After a great dinner on Friday night with K2CS and
AF2K, some Heineken's a the club house, and some prodding, ZR decided on
Saturday morning that another four counties would be a good idea especially
since one county, Montgomery, has been quite rare. The mobile was fitted with
Hamsticks front and rear and we were ready to go at the stroke of 2PM local
time. Running two stations was a challenge but the borrowed bandpass filters
from my normal VHF rover partner did the job.
The whole contest went by very fast because we had a had good rates going from
start to finish. At one point we made an effort at trying 15M but Murphy was on
board and no Qs were made. Investigation in the driveway on Sunday confirmed
that the stick was wonky on the front antenna mount. Odd.
We had great food for the road, radio conditions were good and activity seemed
high. The real surprise was the number of stations that followed us from county
to county. The top dog was K1ZZI with 23 QSOs! NT2A came in at 18. Many other
stations were in the near one dozen QSO range.
This contest was a blast and we'll be back for another run in 2012.
73,
