06/14/2004 | W4FAL The ARRL June VHF Contest is always a favorite. This year I got to spend some time with the contest between chores around the house. Still don't have the tower up yet, so I was working with comprimised antennas that weren't that high.

I managed 14 grids on six meters, 4 on two meters, and 2 on 70cm. ZF1DC in EK99 (Cayman Island) and T49C in EL83 (Cuba) were great additions to the logbook on six meters.

I operated with a FT-847, and inverted V at 65 ft for six meters, a vertical on 2M and 70cm (I told you they were compromised antennas).

Thanks to all that worked me. I'm already getting some QSL's via the ARRL Logbook of the World.
