Comments:
Another fun day doing the IOTA contest on the Maine coast at Land's End in
Harpswell, Maine, NA-137. Jim, W4TMO, and I alternated operating and we both
enjoyed the improved band conditions from last year. Limiting our operating
activity to Saturday during daylight hours, we had a late start after enjoying a
good breakfast at the Harpswell General store. After that, we found our usual
parking spot next to the Lands End gift shop and put up our antenna -- this year
we used parallel 20/15 meter dipoles suspended at the center of a telescoping
fiberglass pole, anchored by the car tire over an L-shaped (homebrew) bracket.
It worked flawlessly. We took a break for lunch with a beer and topped it off
with local ice cream before returning to complete our day. We ceased operating
around 7:30 PM local time because we needed just enough light to "break
down" and stow the antenna for transport back to our home in Tenants
Harbor. Thanks to all those that found and worked us. Thanks to RSGB for
sponsoring a fun contest.
