Comments:
Being fairly new to microwave contesting and first time ever on 10 GHz, it was a
learning experience for me. Activity level was excellent, kind of like trying
to drink from a fire hose. I missed opportunities for working more stations,
but I will improve for next time.
Four grids contacted on 10 GHz, ( one grid less than needed for 10G VUCC on my
first day! ).
10 GHz with KA9VDU in EN52 and EN53 �" Thanks Greg!
10 GHz with W9ZIH in EN51 �" Thanks Ron!
10 GHz with K9PW/R in EN51 �" Thanks Pete!
10 GHz with W9SZ/R in EN61 �" Thanks Zack!
Equipment:
902 = Barefoot DEMI 902 XVTR, 30w, M2 Yagi
1296 = Barefoot DEMI XVTR, 25w, M2 Yagi
2304 = DEMI XVTR and Pyro Joe amp, 25w, Directive Systems looper
10368 = Barefoot DEMI XVTR, 2.4w, surplus 24” dish w TVRO feedhorn
Obviously needed improvements:
• A second radio to monitor 144.260
• More power on 10 GHz
Already have 3456 MHz equipment on order. Hope to have that running for June
and August events. Then 5760 MHz - that will give me 10 bands.
