Next time give FM a try. Down here in South Florida I had 16 contacts on two Meters. Out of those, 9 were FM and only 7 were SSB. All 4 of my contacts on 432 were also FM, 3 on 446.000 and one on 432.800. This is in addition to 45 QSO's on 6 Meter ... Read More

The bands were dismal. Thanks goodness for the rovers! N5AC/R and WD0ACD/R at least made things interesting as I kept track of them from grid-to-grid and worked them on as many bands as we could make work. Hats off to both for braving the unusually ... Read More

VHF band conditions could not have been worse for the contest. No E's or Ground Wave openings for me in Northeast Ohio. I did manage to triple my contacts from last year, but that's only because I added stacked KU4AB SQ50s and a TS-2000 running 100 wat... Read More
