Comments:
K4CNY and I used the Saturday of the Sprint to scout some operating locations
for the upcoming June VHF Contest and ended up at Morris State Park in EM46xn
where I have operated on two previous occasions.
Due to a chemical spill that shut down the I-40 bridge in Memphis, I was delayed
over 30 minutes getting across the Mississippi River, and as a result, I was not
QRV from EM46 on the 3-element beam until 6:45. However, this location produced
several QSOs across the Midwest and Southeast. There were flashes of
sporadic-E, but I could not be heard by any of the distant stations I called.
I stayed at EM46 for about an hour, at which time I had worked everyone I could
hear. I then headed home via EM56 and EM55, operating in motion on the
quarterwave mobile whip. This yielded one QSO from EM56 and three QSOs from
EM55. Thanks to AG4V for QSOs from all three grids and to N4JQQ for also
following me around and working me from two.
I am going to look for hardware to be able to run my squalo for 6m mobile going
forward. I am missing out on too many local contacts by being cross-polarized.
