01/27/2008 | KA3ZLS Started the contest late and heard I missed an opening to Florida on 6 meters. Conditions were pretty flat with what I was hearing. Wasn't hearing to much to the northeast except FN20, FN10 and FM29 but was able to pick up FN31 late in the contest thanks to Ron, WZ1V. I had a S7 noise level when pointing to the northeast most of the contest combined with powerline noise made it hard to pull anyone out and the preamp didn't really help out. Was also able to pick up FM06 late in the contest thanks to K4QI giving me a call which boosted my score up over 13k. I missed out on some important contacts that I would of liked to have made on 1296 with K8GP and N3NGE but was unable to complete the QSO but did manage to triple my 1296 mults from back in september due to my 1296 antenna being up higher and having 100 watts now on 1296. Didn't work but two rovers, K4GUN(FM18) and KC3WD(FM28)but do appreciate the contacts. I hope by June that I will have 903mhz and 2304mhz added to my station also. But anyway had fun as always and will look for everyone in June.
