[NLRS] UHF Contest

[wb0ljc at juno.com]

Hi all,

I operated as a local rover in EN34 and EN35. I spent some
time in each grid both days. I wanted to be sure that the
serious rovers got EN35 on the higher bands. I spent quite
a bit of time calling CQ on 432, if you missed me sorry. I
did catch KMØT and KØJO on CQ's. Not bad for 10W and
an 8 element Quagi at 15'.

The scoring breakdown is:

Band          # QSO's      # Grids

222                  10                  2
432                  37                  7
902                    7                  2  (finally worked EN35. Tnx
ZQ!)
1296                15                  3
2304                10                  2
3456                  5                  2
5760                  6                  2
10368              13                  2

Total              103Q             22 + 2 rover grids = 24
Score   16344 pts.

That beats my score from last year. I missed some of the
locals and some rovers in the adjacent grids. Since I didn't 
work those grids on any band my score could have been 
doubled if I had worked them. I had the common problem.
the rover was running the bands with the fixed stations
and even though I could hear both ends of the contact I 
couldn't break in for a contact. I guess I will have to get
bigger antennas and more power!

Thanks to everyone for  the contacts and to the rovers for
going out.

Let hope this wasn't the last UHF contest.

73,  Gary  WBØLJC
