[MAMS] W9SNR/R Sept. VHF Report

[Jim Mitzlaff]

This year, I decided to go north to EN53 & EN63, instead of just staying in 
my 4 local grids. Not much happened in EN53, since I was there during the 
Sunday afternoon "siesta", but going to EN63 in the evening produced a lot 
of multipliers that I would not have worked from my local 4.

Conditions were generally flat, except for some enhancement to the SE, and a 
pipeline to FM08 on Sunday morning and late night.  Fixed station activity 
was down somewhat, mostly due to storm damage which took out some stations 
in the area, but rover activity continued to increase from previous 
contests.

Best 2M DX was also my last contact, 592 miles from EN63 to K8GP/R in FM08. 
Also notable was working W8SPM/8 (QRP portable) in FM08 from EN62 and 
working W0ANH in EN47 from EN52. Thanks to K2DRH, K2YAZ, KA9VVQ/R, K8TQK, 
and W9IIX for providing contacts and multipliers on 2304 & up.
