[MAMS] W9SNR/R June Contest

[Jim]

General activity and conditions for 2M & up were pretty much normal.  Worked 
a few more stations and better DX to the east, so I think conditions were a 
bit up in that direction.  I tried operating from EN53 and EN63, which I 
haven't done for years in the June contest.  EN53 was pretty much a bust, 
but EN63 worked out quite well.  Planning to try EN63 again in the Sept 
contest.  Not enough time to go there in the UHF contest.

Now for a few words on assistance.  I did some self spotting using APRS and 
the W0UC text to Twitter feed.  No obvious benefits from my side, but I 
would appreciate an email reply from anyone who did find me using these 
self-spots.

I was able to make a few 2M "skeds" using phone calls. This worked out much 
better.  Once the 2M contact was made, we ran through all the bands we had 
in common.  I'll probably make more use of phone calls in the future, 
especially to stations who are not likely to be looking in my direction.

Ignore the HP entry class.  It was a mistake that I’ve been unable to 
correct.
