N6ZE/R
N6ZE, Transcon Rover (4730 miles traveled this time)
N6ZE/R operated from 5 grids, 4 states, & 4 divisions during the ARRL January VHF Sweepstakes. My ops were in conjunction with a business trip. (I has been off during the weekend of 16/17 January, because I believed the "QST" contest announcement!)
Stats:
4495 points total
FN31: 6m: 1q/1g; 2m: 2q/1g; 70cm: 1q/1g. I operated for 10 minutes at the beginning of the SS from the Bradley Airport Terminal. Best DX: K1ZZ in Stratford, CT (~20 miles) on 6/2/70.
EL96: 6m: 3q/1g; 2m: 4q/3g; 70cm: 3q/2g. I operated for about an hour from the top of a 7 story garage at the Ft. Lauderdale Airport. Best DX: 6m: K1JT(FN20); Ft. Myers on 2/70; best SWL: EL98 on 2m
FN30: 6m: 14q/1g; 2m: 30q/3g; 70cm: 15q/3g. I operated for about 5 hours from the 20th floor of a hotel just 2 blocks west of Times Sq. There was still activity at 2 A.M. on Sunday morning!
DM03: 6m: 8q/3g; 2m: 14q/2g; 70cm: 4q/1g. I operated for about 30 minutes from a parking lot at Los Angeles Intl. Airport.
DM04: 6m: 8q/0g; 2m: 13q/0g; 70cm: 6q/1g. I operated for about 30 minutes, until the end of the contest, just to the north of the Santa Monica Airport.
New rig this time was Yaesu FT-817 + Maldol whip and with nil 6/2 gain & a little bit on 70cm. (FT690, IC202, & 24 "C" cells have been retired.)
