2007 ARRL January VHF Sweepstakes
one rotor for the 222/1296 array decided to quit,found later after the contest just a controller wire with a bad connection , so had to scale back the size 222 array to 1 yagi instead of 4 on 222 and 1296 using a radioshack rotor which only turned north to south 180 ccw , on the main tower added a 2m18 and 432-13wl up at about 70'+/- feet, they work well and not so narrow can hear off the sides still, anyway no prop to speak of i heard a w2 and a w9 in a weak Es opening Saturday afternoon, w4wa em84 on 222 once for about 20 seconds sunday morning.
