2014 ARRL January VHF Contest

01/24/2014 | N6ZE/Rover

   During this contest, we used the 33cm band (902 MHz) for the 1st time & made 3 QSOs. Equip:  an FT897 for 6/2/70, a TM331 for 135cm (223.5 MHz FM), & an ALINCO handheld for 33cm (902.1 MHz FM). In motion, whip antennas were used, while we utilized short 2m & 70cm yagis in grids DM12 & DM15 in addition to a 6m whip and 135cm whip antenna. N6ZE/R experienced perfect winter wx: clear skies, light winds, & midday temperature of 80 deg. During 21 hrs of activity, we drove 804 miles during the 2 day contest & even got to sample Dunkin Donuts at their only West Coast location.
