Wow, no propagation on 6 at all! At least there were a few good rovers out there. No real enhancement or tropo either. All in all a fun contest but a bit slow at times. This was the first time for my 'new' Microwave Modules 432 transverter. My K2 ... Read More

Running just a stacked pair of M2 halos and a 75-watt brick on 2 meters, I never expect to be competitive in the January contest, but it is fun to see who is active. The tail-end of a major blizzard in the Great Lakes appeared to cut into rover activi... Read More
