Hello all,
I see everyone is giving their thoughts on the contest, so I
figured I would give mine. I personally thought that the conditions could
have been much better. Seems the activity was down up here in ENY. Don't get
me wrong, we had a good time here running Unlimited Multi-op. I just wish
Murphy would stop showing up for the contests. LOL Seems he has it out for
our 220 CW rig and 903 Mhz transverter. The station here consists of the
following:
6 meters
Icom IC-746 @100 Watts
2 Meters
Icom IC-910H @ 100 Watts SSB
Radio Shack HTX-212 50 Watts FM
223 MHz
Homebrew Xmitter 120 Watts (Murphy's favorite)
Kenwood TH-31AT FM
432 MHz
Icom IC-910H @ 75 Watts SSB & FM
903 MHz
Homebrew Transverter (another one of Murphys favorites)
1296 Mhz
Icom IC-1271A @ 10 Watts
Was very happy to work FM08 from FN32at on 1296. That was the happiest
moment for me.
So, here is the score rundown.
50MHz 54Qs / 19X 144MHz 87Qs / 21X 222Mhz 11Qs / 4X
432MHz 46Qs / 16X 902MHz 3Qs / 1X 1296MHz 13Qs / 7X
TOTAL = 20604
Looking forward to January. Should be fun. 73 to all de James (N2UZQ)
