Had a GREAT contest. Raised the antennas 10 feet and changed out a few for more elements and gain. Glad I did! My best DX on 1296 was K1WHS in FN43 Maine, a little over 400 air miles. Did that with just a 5 watt transverter and a single 45 ele loop yagi at 45 feet. Also turned the 1296 antenna 180 degrees to work K4QI in FM06 North Carolina. So the band was in great shape. Also did very well on 2304 with a CW contacts with Jeff K1TEO in FN31 CT. and WA2FGK in FN21 PA.,  with just a single 45 ele looper at 35 feet and only 10 watts!
