Contest S O A P B O X |
Well my good effort I had planned turned out to be not much at
all. just couldnt fight the
power noise. But thank goodness they fixed a really bad one to my
west, that direction is
not almost perfectly quite. Now if I can get one to North and 1
to South east fixed will
be in great shape. Any way here is my pitful log.
thanks and 73 Ira K4YMQ
Just for a check ... only worked (3)

Hi Tip, I had a problem with my log and lost the last
month of entries so I have no results
to send. I do remember some of the calls off the top of my
head though. N5SIX/M in 5
or 6 grids? WA5UFH K9MRI AB3BK K8ROX and the rest slip my mind.
Total I had
around 20 QSO's all on 6M. 2M was bad, couldn't complete
even when QSY'ing from a
6M QSO with a few.

Tip, I worked KM5PO. He was the only one I heard answer my
CQ's. I did get a few
partial responses, but never enough to be sure who they were.
Might possibly have been
you! Seems like I thought you may have been in there, as well as
W5UWB. I tried to get
WB2FKO to sked me (1334 mi), but he was leaving for the east
coast and didn't have
much time. Heard no one to the east. I never heard anyone else
call CQ either. I was
thinking -- possibly work 2m from 1200 to 1300Z or something
like that. This would be
instead of having totally separate contests. This might encourage
more 2m operation
(might not either). Just some thoughts on it. I really like the
idea of the random contest though.

gm tip. well i had very little time to get on but here is wht
little i did. what happened to
2 mtr? i did cq there for several hours and listened there
a bunch but nada except for you. go figure.

Tip here is my info. Given the mostly short but some nice rocks
into the mobile loop, I didn't
even attempt 2m. Two meter loops were on board but from what I
could see it was not going
to be worth the effort given the pace I had to keep. My "copilot"
enjoyed himself and he was
able to work a couple with his call in program. Best dx wasn't
that great and as usual, I lost 2-3
qso's due to rocks tailing off in the late morning. Fun trips
with about 350 miles and 6+ hours
Saturday and \par another 100 miles and 2+ hours Sunday morning.
I never did get a qso
from home grid! Grid at the end of each log record is my grid at
time.

Hi Tip, Attached is my log for the
Spring 07 Rally. Sunday morning was the best of conditions by far
here.
I was not really serious this time due to lots of irons in the
fire this weekend. Important stuff like finishing
a yagi project for my NOAA weather radio, playing tennis with my
daughter, and going to the diamond jaxx
ballgame on Sunday :<) I decided to do single band 6 meters
for several reasons.Grids coming excruciatingly
slow for Century Grid especially on 2m. I now have 88 on 2 meters
and 78 on 6 meters.
Regardless, WSJT is still very fun here.73,ChuckAF4O
Tip, Not much to report,
but here is what I got. Saw
three other stations but did not work them :-( Don>>>
That's my biggie Tip, not much heard out here out West. I don't think the new rules worked for me.

Tip -- Attached is log for the Spring Rally. Seemed to run
pretty good after everyone read the rules, hi hi.
We had a good time and look forward to the next one, hopefully
will have new 2M preamp by then.

That was
frustrating! I heard so few people on ... maybe I have a
station problem ...! 73, Steve
Not a big score but we did give it a go. Must have
monitored a total of 10 r hours to get the two contacts
but still, like fishing, you have to be r patient. See Attached
excell spread sheet. 73\par Stan\par K7JIZ
I enjoyed the contest. I found random contacts easy to complete
on six meters and few meteors for the 144MHz
band also I 'think two meter activity was very poor, I don't know
what happened to all those two meter guys?
Was nice to have some active rovers in my area,
Tip (WA5UFH)
I heartily approve of encouraging random MS QSOs, however, the
forced offset rules in this contest are not
necessary (especially out here in the west). I missed two QSOs
with non-contesters who were calling CQ
simplex on the calling frequency.

No log from me this time around. I tried working several stations
but never could get a completion. The
conditions were probably the worst I have seen in several years
of "Meteor Scattering".
