EM91 is considered a "rare" grid. But I wanted to see if I could make it available for the weekend with an antenna better than my normal 15 ft flagpole. Because of CC&R restrictions, I'm limited to "stealthy" antennas. So for this contest, I mounted a homebrew 6m halo on a 20 ft pole and leaned it against the back roof just for the weekend. I missed the early Saturday afternoon 6m opening, but with 90 watts and the 6m halo, I did manage to make 76 QSOs in 55 grids and 24 states and 2 provinces. So I hope I helped others with their scores. Now I'm back to my flagpole, but I'm always available for skeds if you need EM91. Best DX and 73, Jeff. -- K8CQ
