2009 ARRL June VHF Contest
07/02/2009 |
VE7IYOA
Mount Tolmie, Victoria, B.C Canada
VE7IYOA participated in the ARRL VHF Contest which resulted in only a few contacts made on VHF and some on HF during a 4 hour period. Only 6 stations were logged on VHF and 4 on 20 meters. A 5/8 2 meter Ground plane antenna mounted on a photo tripod was all I had for antennas on 144.220 MHz. It was not the ideal antenna configuration for this contest and I was a rank beginner.
6 stations and 2 Grid Squares were logged from the site. Members of the public that visited the station had many questions about what I was doing and I explained why the Special Event Station was requested.
It Commemorated Galileo Galilei's efforts and achievments that he has made over the last 400th years.
Signifies the first International Year of Astronomy.
Brings awareness of Astronomy as a science on a global scale and how it has evolved over 400 years.
Gets people out and observing when ever they can and sharing experiences with others. -- VE7DAO
