Comments:
Enjoyed this as my first ever VHF Contest. It has been 55 years since
my last 6m contact. In 1953, my Dad bought me an Allied Radio 6m-AM
10w rig. At that time we here in middle GA received TV from Atlanta.
Three stations were available - CH 2,5, & 11. CH2 (WSB) was the best
and fairly reliable on a good outside antenna. Until, I got on the
air - our TV and several of the neighbors TV's got up and walked off.
My Dad made a corporate decision that maybe I should operate on some
other band with my National SW-54 and homemade 10w rig (6L6)...
On a business trip several weeks ago, I tried loading up my Hustler
mast (only found out since then that IS Hustler's 6m mobile antenna).
First station I worked was XE2WWW - so, was off to the races. Put up
a simple dipole between two trees and worked 36 states and 19 countries
in a few days. This week put up a 6el Cushcraft about 20' for the contest.
Lots of fun...Now for more height and more power..
73, Paul, N4PN
