[NLRS] contest

[Herb Krumich]

Very sorry to say, the WA2FGK station will not be able to operate the January 
VHF contest.. We had a sleet storm on Tuesday evening, which turned into a 
drizzle and fog on Wednesday.. With temperatures never getting above freezing, 
and very little sun, the antennas are totally ice covered.. I attempted to run 
my system at low power starting on 50 Mhz. I had 40% power returned. The 144 mhz 
band is even worse. No beacons being heard, and a tremendous SWR
At 1,700 feet asl, nothing iced up. Our location has done this in previous 
years, so it’s almost expected.. 

We look forward to the next competition. Have fun in the contest..
