[ADXA] VHF contest

Mon Jan 18 14:31:04 EST 2021

Bill - tnx info. Not being familiar with the club competition rules this
makes sense. I guess there is a deadline for getting the list to HQ. I
should check to see if it has passed. If not, I can shoot a list up to
them.

I did get one new Grid Sq from K5QE in EM31.  So it wasn't a total bust.  Sitting at 401 in the VUCC (50Mhz) and waiting on EM31 to appear.

If you are submitting a log for this contest, and are located within the required boundary, please select ADXA as there is a club competition associated with the January VHF contest. If you have already submitted your log simply go back and submit it again with ADXA identified as the club.

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.
