07/07/2008 | AH8M/R Had a blast rovering in the June VHF contest. Went out with KD4VRY in my 4 door Toyota with the back set PACKED with gear, 50 Mhz to 2304 Mhz. High bands took a back seat ( pun ) when six meters opened. Finished with claimed score over 140,000. We ran horzontal loops on SSB while underway on 6 meters thru 70 cm as well as vertical on FM for these bands. While fixed we had beams on all bands. Really glad to see some activity on 222 Mhz and 902 Mhz. This was a great opprotunity to get some activity on those bands. Activated South Florida grids EL 86, 87, 94, 95, 96, 97. Sure was hot in June setting up each time. -- AH8M
