[AK-VHF] [PNWVHFS] Sept. VHF Contest

[Mike Lewis]

Got my K3 replacement board in the mail on Friday so just in time for the VHF contest!  Going to have some contest fun in a new QTH.  I am even 5 stories up so one of the highest antenna platforms around.
 
I figured Alaska would be the toughest place to be in a VHF contest.  I was wrong.  Not a single voice heard here on 6M or2M here in Cape Coral Florida (Southwest Florida) all weekend. There was however a HF contest going on and I am hearing HF quite well.
 
Score:0
