[ADXA] VHF contest

[Dennis Schaefer]

I didn't get finished with my VHF/UHF antennas due to cold and wind, but
was able to get on 2M during the VHF contest and work about 10 grids.  I
was happy to work several ADXA'ers, like W5ZN, N4JQQ, and W5VY.  I copied
WZ1V and N2WK on the east coast.  This was 2 meters only - 6 meters is down
and 432 didn't get installed on Friday as I hoped.  It will be ready before
the next contests, I'm sure.  Maximum height will be about 20 feet, but it
gets me on the VHF bands, which is more than I usually have.

I listened around 144.200 quite a bit but never heard any SSB or CW, so
everything was on FT8.  I think if there had been some better openings, SSB
and CW would have been a factor, but it is January.

I appreciate all the help.

73,
Dennis, W5RZ
