Re:ARRL June VHF Contest - 2008/06/16 10:51
J-P- Bonne partie)))
Alan - nice to hear you on VHF!
My results:
Band Mode QSOs Pts Grd
50 CW 38 38 23
50 USB 88 88 45
144 CW 3 3 1
144 USB 8 8 5
Total Both 137 137 73
Score : 10,001
Rig: IC-746 100 watts
ANT: 6m 2 el. MQ-26, 2m 6 el. home brew yagi on my attic fixed to south.
I was planning to work /p on a hill top near Grandby but canceled due to the bad weather prognosis of T-storm. So I was working from home where conditions are not good for VHF.
There was not any Es on 6m on Saturday. But I did 10 QSOs via Aurora. The longest was with W8 in EN70. Next day on Sunday was a good 6m Es opening. Unfortunately I couldn't work all the time and almost missed the morning opening. Anyway got a good pile up from W8-W9-W0 during the evening opening after 19:00. The longest QSO was with N7NG - 3000 kms. I was trying to get XE2WWW but I couldn't brake up the US pile up. He was coming S9 here. Also couldn't get KP4A and HI3TEJ as well. A few grids missed. Heard VE2XX (FN07) via Aurora but he gone. The same story with VE2XX (FN25).
For sure the best for the VHF Contest is to get /p on a good high position.
73!
Victor
