09/20/2009 | N0EDV Photos from the second weekend as members from the Northern Lights Radio Society gather on top of the Buck Hill ski resort to operate. On Saturday (September 19th) we had 91 degrees up there! Crazy for MN at this time of year!

I had 144 QSOs during the second weekend and 25 from the first weekend, for a total of 169 QSOs. Not bad for my very first microwave contest! I built my system from a kit from Downeast Microwave and it worked flawlessly. I only missed one QSO from the rover pack (KC0P, running 200 mW, I believe, from one of their stops). My system runs at 10 mW from the transverter and drives the DEMI 2W amp.
