Hi All...
Is anyone doing the VHF contest this weekend ??? I remember K4EA mention
he is going up to NC in the mountains. Anyone else ??
Condx have been pretty good on 6 meters for about the last week. A couple
nights ago it was open to the east coast and midwest. I worked about 50
stations using my HF antenna - an 88 ft center fed zepp. I even got some
answers to my CQ and had a small pileup for awhile.
Depending on how good the condx are on Saturday I might just jump in my car
with my DK9SQ mast and a quad loop for 6 meters and do a small rover operation.
Looking at the map I am only about 75 miles from the intersection of EM73 ,
EM83, EM71 and EM81 - which I think are pretty rare grids. If 6 really opened
up it could be real "fun" just doing 6 meters !!! Although I have 2 meters and
432 - I don't have antennas built now plus I'm not sure how much
activity there is down that far south to make it worth while??? I would
appreciate any advice I can get about VHF contesting down here.....
