2012 ARRL January VHF Sweepstakes

02/15/2012 | KM3G/R

Cold - Cold - Cold The weekend before the contest was 45 and sunny.  The weekend after the contest was 45 and sunny.  The weekend OF the contest was 25, snowing and windy. 

I planned to rove 6 grids in VA, MD, DE, and PA, but only made it to 5 of them.  The cold has a way of sapping the energy right out of you.  I managed to make a few contacts at all of the grids on 6/2 and 222 FM.  I set up the entire bottom 4 band stack at Cape Henelopen, DE on Sunday morning. That worked pretty good.

I originally was trying to get 903 and 1296 into the van for the trip as well, but there's more work to do on that equipment.  I should be able to have the bottom 6 bands on the air in June.
