Comments:
The first run out for the first and only antenna at 9A1TT today (destined to be
a no-compromise Multi Single station in a few years).
The trial ticked all the boxes :-).
- Hold a (high in the band) frequency and run W1 thru W0 simplex - tick (I was
sandwiched between CR2X and II9P (both louder across the pond, yet was able to
run without problems).
- Work more QSOs than 9A1P who are a reference point in the region (further
west, better take off, less gain in the antenna but no doubt higher power, and
being M/M able to move mults and QSOs from other bands). - tick (on the first
night, I worked 300 vs their 170!...and skipped cca. 4hrs of potential op. time
to favour watching the football at home on Sunday:-))
- Compare 210m beverage against 4square. 30% of QSOs were made using it and
without it I would have not made at least 80 QSOs (may be more). On Saturday
night a rain storm came though and static noise read S9+10dB on my s-meter for
almost 2 hrs. The SNR on the beverage was much better and although I was
handicapped, the contest went on :-).
Thanks to all who called and were patient with my weak signal handling :-).
Well done to the competition and special congrats to G4BYB @ GM3PPG who is in
another class!
