Comments:
IT WAS AN INTERESTING CONTEST. AS USUAL FOR THE WINTER VHF TEST THE
PARTICIPATION SEEMED TO BE LOW ESPECIALLY WHEN THE FOOTBALL GAME STARTED SUNDAY.
DESPITE THE 1/8 INCH OF ICE ON THE ANTENNA ELEMENTS, TOWER AND EVERYTHING ELSE
WHICH RAISED THE SWR SATURDAY NIGHT FOR A WHILE THE EQUIPMENT AND OPERATORS
PERFORMED ADMIRABLY. AGAIN WE HAD MORE GRIDS ON 2 METERS WITH OUR OMNI
DIRECTIONAL TWO ELEMENT PHASED ARRAY AND 100 WATTS THAN OUR FIVE ELEMENT YAGI ON
6 METERS WITH 400 WATTS. HOWEVER THIS TEST PRODUCED MORE Q’S ON 6 METERS THAN
ON 2 METER WHICH IS THE OPPOSITE OF PAST VHF CONTESTS. WE ALSO DID A LESS CQing
THIS CONTEST DUE TO THE LOWER PARTICIPATION. THE FOOD WAS EXCELLENT AND ALL HAD
A GREAT TIME. TNX TO ALL STATIONS WHO CONTACTED US.
73 FROM THE TEAM, WA3EKL, N3DPB, K6Z0, KB3VQC, AC3BU, K3MTR.
