Saturday was a little slow to say the least...mostly 2 meter locals ...worked a few on 432 also but again only local..
I worked high power on 6 meters and low power on 144 and 432 mhz using Cushcraft A50-5S 6 meter beam at 50 feet... 10 element yagi on 144 mhz at 20 foot.. and a vertical at 30 foot on 432
Rigs used were a YAESU FT-847 on 6 meters...ICOM 746 on 2 meters (100 watts) and a YAESU FT-100D on 432(20 watts).
Amplifier for 6 meters is a "KOMMIE KILOWATT" by MORE POWER
Total claimed score is 4488 points
total contacts = 129
total qso points = 136
K6LMN/C6A started things off on Sunday on 6m...worked xe1mex, xe2hwb and xe1hrs to close the contest. Most qso's with Florida stations..
