Comments:
This was my first attempt at operating this contest. The contest started off
great with a nice 6 meter opening! Once 6 meters faded out, Aurora was next.
Made some nice AU contacts on both bands. After the AU, I finally made it to 2
meters. I ended up the night with a nice contact out to EM18 on 2 meters due to
great band conditions on 144 MHz. I also managed to work into EN40 & 41..
Sunday I was greated with band conditions much less to brag about, not to
mention some nice electrical line noise on both bands. Had a few 6 meter band
openings that broke up the day. 2 meters seemed in pretty good shape with some
enhancement yet lurking as I was able to work down into EM77 & EM96.
In conclusion, the contest had many highlights including 2 new all time new
grids worked on 2 meters not to mention a handful on 6 meters. Thanks to all of
those that worked me during the contest. Other than some electrical noise,
things ran smooth with no complaints as of yet from my neighbors. I like the
two band competition as I can actually work "all bands" with this one : ) as I
only have 6 thru 432.
