Good morning all -
Spent a pleasant 6 hours on the radio while driving up the I-85 and I-95
corridor yesterday from Apex NC, FM-05 to Lancaster PA FN10. Station was a
Kenwood TM-255A 2 meter multimode and the antenna was a Hustler 5/8 wl mag
mount on the roof of the rental minivan. Had no great expectations since
antenna was vertically polarized and I was running light bulb power.
Surprisingly, I made 11 contacts, and could have had a few more if stations I
heard had heard me. Worked Aaron, W4JST/R FM07 while in a number of grids in
VA, K3RZ FM19 from two grids and a few other people. Most Surprised at how
well the thrown together station worked. Got to Lancaster right before 2:00
p.m.
Now I have to napkin log to readable format and submit.
73,
Chris Patterson W3CMP
