5 W, indoor J-pole (vertically polarized) in an apartment down in the urban
canyon of Minneapolis.
Lots of activity tonight! A good mix of SSB, FM, and FT8. It was great to have
so many stations on, but would have been nice if more of them had left 144.200
MHz.
I was fortunate that my noise floor was pretty low through much of the contest,
but for a half hour or hour, it went from S0/S1 up to S7. My contest thus
interrupted, I got out the 144/432 MHz beam to do some direction finding---at
least so much as I could from within my apartment. Within a few minutes I had
figured out which neighbor I'll need to talk to, and where in their apartment
the offending device is located. Luckily for me, it was turned off eventually
and I was able to resume the contest using modes other than FT8.
Thanks to all the stations who got on! This was a fun contest with all the
activity.
