The W0W team, (K0SIX, K0MPP, KB0HNN, WA0VPJ and NI0W) would like to thank you
all for looking our way during our recent grid expedition. I can say we had a
great time, despite a little "Murphy visit", along with wind and rain. We were
delayed with set up from Thursday afternoon, until Friday morning, do to heavy
rain and wind. Therefore we could not complete our Digital schedule that we had
set up for early Friday morning. The mosquito's and black flies were at a
minimum, primarily due to the consistent wind, unfortunately so were the"E's".
We were able to make a few scatter contacts on 6 meters on Friday, as well as a
few locals on 2 and 6. Pre contest 30 contacts in 26 different grids on 6
meters and 9 contacts in 3 different grids on 2 meters.The contest start was
slow to say the least, again locals looked our way, which was great. We did
manage a few "e's" on Saturday, and better results on Sunday afternoon. We
were once again forced to shut down operation for awhile with lightning and
heavy wind gusts. Contest results were 5,076 points, 6 meters = 74 q's in 43
different grids; 2 meters = 20 q's in 11 grids.Post contest was limited to one
contact, which ended up to be most rewarding. We were asked to delay our
departure to fulfill a EME contact on 6 meters. Our first attempt at EME on 6
meter JT65A was a success with Hal N7NW in CN87. Brad (KB0HNN) was at the rig
to complete this contact.Overall we had a great time in such a picturesque part
of our state. All logs will soon be uploaded to ARRL's Log Book of the World
and you will also be able to do a quick search in the clublog applet on
www.k0six.com. Information for QSL's is also on www.k0six.com. If you're
sure you worked W0W and don't see your callsign in the log, email K0SIX with
your QSO details. Also, your callsign might be in the log duplicate times. This
is due to uploaded logs from our networked computers to be sure we didn’t miss
any QSO’s.Thanks again and see you on the air!Vince, Maria, Brad, John and
DaveK0SIX, K0MPP, KB0HNN, WA0VPJ and NI0W
