[NLRS] KT8O June VHF score (Long)

[Eric Shook]

Hello everyone,

Thank you very much for all the QSOs!  I had a blast. 
My first thought about this contest was how different
it was from the Jan contest.  I was sure glad that 6
meters was open, but it really took away from 2 and
up.  It was very interesting hearing stations from the
west coast in almost all day on 6m!  (most of which
were even there on Sunday)

Two days before the contest started I realized that my
222 antenna was having major issues.  A major thanks
for Dave N0KP for all his help and the 222 antenna! 
It was so much better then my homebrew quagi.  (I
think that builder [me]was the problem on this one!)  

That was problem number one.  Problem number two
consisted of my remote coax switch for the
transverters also having major issues.  I had to take
it out of the line.  I ended up having to climb up to
the roof of my apartment building any time I wanted to
switch between 903 and 1296.  My wife also made the
trek many times!

I was a little disappointed on how my 903 performed,
but I had a blast on 1296!  Thanks to everyone who
copied by few watts!


Here is the rundown of the bands:


	VALID	PTS PER	QSO	GRID SQUARE
	QSOs  	QSO  	POINTS 	MULTIPLIERS
50 MHz	159  	1  	159  	79
144 MHz	92  	1  	92  	25
222 MHz	34  	2  	68  	12
432 MHz	61  	2  	122  	16
902 MHz	6  	3  	18  	3
1296 MHz 25  	3  	75  	7	
TOTAL  	377  		534  	142   =	75,828


Thanks again and lets keep the activity up even none
contest time!
