CQ Wireless VHF Contest

Mini Rove Update CQ Wireless VHF Contest Update AA2SD/R 

This was an extremely slow contest for me as a Rover, most likely due to the fact that many of the Pack Rats attended the great Picnic event. Thanks to all of the operators that worked  me and the help from Andrew, N2NT for spotted me. I put a full effort in early Sunday morning starting at 6AM, but the pace was extremely slow for contacts. My primary focus is on phone contacts, and I tested FT8 in my rover later in the day.

For the CQ VHF Wireless contest I worked 1 hour from the Pack Rats parking lot, and 1.5 hour from FN20 on the drive back home. I made 14 contacts in total during my drive and from the parking lot. During the next day I worked GRID FM 29 at the Pole Hill Park location 240 feet elevation and worked another 28 stations during Sunday. I also tested FT8 with 7 contacts from my driveway.  Summary Total QSO  49

I used Halo only antennas, a dual stacked 2 mtrs set up on my roof rack and a 6 Mtr Halo at both locations. Later during the day I stayed in my Rover and put up a 20 foot mast with the dual stacked halos from my home driveway.. Pleased to work WZ1V  Ron in FN31 and Jeff K1TEO FN31 from my Rover with the Halo Stack antennas. I also worked Alex KR1ST FN21 from FM29 with the Stacked Halos on the roof rack.

Thanks to the Club Leadership, and all of the help with the great food, and well prepared and fun event, it was good to see many of the Rats at the meeting.
