Single op, low power, six bands
Rig is FLEX-50000 w/DEMI transverters
Antennas are all single M2 yagis ( at ~ 60 feet )
I had hoped to be on 2304 MHz, got the antenna and rotor loop up but
didn't get the feed line installed in time. Hopefully will have that
taken care of for the Fall u-wave sprint.
Saturday morning I got up early and went to the Chicago Radio
Expo/Belvedere Hamfest looking for a 6M amp. Nothing found. When I
returned home I was so tired that I fell asleep and missed most of the
contest on Saturday. Sunday morning watched the 9-11 stuff on TV, so my
operating was late Sunday morning through the end of the contest.
Because of that, my results were down from last year where I had 5 bands
working and 105 Q's for a score of 9,333.
Band conditions while I was operating on Sunday were flat, no tropo
enhancement, no e-skip.
Never heard the bulk of the Rovermania stations operating in the plains
states. ( I did look for you )
Many thanks to the rovers I did connect with: KC0P/R, K9JK/R, W9SNR/R &
W9SZ Hill-top Portable.
6 band sweeps with K2DRH, W9GA
5 bands with W9SZ, K2YAZ, N9UHF, W9SNR/R
